Your Responsibilities

Working in a day activity means creating a meaningful everyday life for our guests in the form of activities and community. A large part of your work is therefore to organize and lead various activities and be able to meet our guests.

Things are happening all the time with us! We go for a walk together every day, and we also have a minibus that we use to go on excursions.

You start the workday by checking in with your colleagues about the day's schedule. Around 9 am, the guests arrive, and the first activity of the day starts at 10 am. After that, it's time for a pedagogical lunch. In the afternoon, we do another activity. Depending on the guests' different abilities, we sometimes split up, where some go off to an activity and others stay behind to do something else.

Your work also includes administrative tasks such as writing implementation plans, documentation, ordering transportation services, and contacting relatives. Some personal care is also part of the job.

Your Workplace

The day activities are currently located at Åleryd's nursing home, Vallastaden's nursing home, and in the city area of Aspen. This position will primarily encompass the day activities in Åleryd. The day activities offer younger and older individuals with cognitive illnesses an active and meaningful everyday life. Each facility receives a smaller group of guests daily, and together we create a meaningful day with activities tailored to each guest. The day activities collaborate with several providers within care and support, such as the Dementia Center and home care. The day activities are currently in a development phase where we are improving and developing our working methods and routines in line with national guidelines and evidence-based methods.

The working hours are scheduled during the day. However, we see an increasing need for places in day activities, so working hours may change in the future to meet the growing demand for places.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone with an approved education as a nursing assistant with a professional certificate from the National Board of Health and Welfare. It is advantageous if you have some form of training in dementia that the employer deems relevant.

For the position, you need to have experience working with individuals who have cognitive illnesses. You also need to have experience working with a low-arousal approach. You should have previous experience writing implementation plans. It is advantageous if you have prior experience working in a nursing home. We also consider it advantageous if you have had responsibility for activities or otherwise worked with activities.

Work in elderly care involves a lot of customer contact and documentation, which means that we require you to be able to communicate verbally and in writing in Swedish. You must be able to use digital tools in your work. You also need to have a B driver's license.

As a person, you work well with others and take responsibility for your tasks and can drive your own work forward. In your work, you can adapt to changing circumstances.
