Job Responsibilities

Nursing and Care Homes

In our nursing and care homes, we work to provide care, support, social activation, and daily rehabilitation to our users. We work to ensure that users have a safe and meaningful existence.

A day in a nursing and care home consists, among other things, of supporting and helping our users according to the assessed assistance they have. This may include personal hygiene, dressing and undressing, toilet visits, transfers, and walks. Delegated healthcare tasks, documentation, and family contacts are also part of the work.

Home Care

As a summer substitute in home care, you work with the user's needs at the center and support in various ways to facilitate daily life in the user's home. You work according to assessed assistance tasks such as help with hygiene and clothing, warming and preparing food, and administering medication. Sometimes we also assist with service tasks such as laundry, shopping, and cleaning.

We handle a lot of technology in our work. On our mobile devices, we see our planning for all the day's tasks. There, we can also read and document, unlock doors and medication cabinets.
