User-controlled personal assistant (BPA assistant)

Being a BPA assistant is the most rewarding thing I've ever worked on. As a BPA assistant, you get to help others have an easier and better everyday life, and that makes everything so meaningful. A user-controlled personal assistant - BPA assistant - assists another person with carrying out practical tasks, participating in activities and social situations. As a BPA assistant, you contribute to the fact that the person you assist, the supervisor, has a greater opportunity to live an active life and do what they want. It is the supervisor who decides what they want help with and the needs are as diverse as the supervisors. That is why we want many different types of assistants, as it is important that the assistant and the supervisor/the person you will be assisting are a good match.

AssisterMeg was started in 2006, and was among the first private providers of user-controlled personal assistance (BPA) for people with a functional disability in Norway. User-controlled means that the person receiving assistance controls who will be the assistant, what the assistant will do, and where and when the assistance takes place. This way, the assistance is tailored to the customer's needs and gives them the freedom to live as they choose. We work to make it as easy as possible for our customers to have BPA and we build our concept on best practice and long experience. Our core values ​​are equality and inclusion through control over one's own life. In June 2024, AssisterMeg was acquired by Humana omsorg og assistanse.
