JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Before the summer, we have two main focuses for our youth summer jobs, either in care and nursing homes or in ordinary housing.

Care and Nursing Homes

There are six care and nursing homes in the municipality of Mariestad, one of which is a short-term residence. Elderly people live there in their own apartments and need support in their daily lives.

The tasks consist of:

• Setting and clearing tables during meals
• Loading and unloading the dishwasher
• Cleaning
• Emptying trash
• Managing laundry
• Social interaction - e.g., reading, playing games, conversing, taking walks

Working hours are scheduled during the day, Monday to Friday, between 09:00 and 16:00, allowing you to enjoy summer evenings and time off after work. You will be placed at one of the six homes. A supervisor will be assigned to support you in your work, guiding you through the tasks and being available to answer your questions.

The summer job lasts for a period of 4 weeks during weeks 26-29 or 30-33. You will be employed as service staff, and we offer you a competitive salary of 115 SEK per hour.

Ordinary Housing

There are nine areas with ordinary housing in the municipality of Mariestad where staff visit the elderly in their own apartments, townhouses, or villas.

The tasks involve:

• Shopping and delivering food to the elderly
• Cleaning

Shopping and cleaning are done together with a staff member from the service unit. Food deliveries are made together with your youth colleague.

Working hours are scheduled during the day, Monday to Friday, between 07:30 and 16:30, allowing you to enjoy summer evenings and time off after work. You will be employed under the Service Unit belonging to area 9 within ordinary housing. Work shifts start from Humlet on Drottninggatan in central Mariestad, where you will learn about the day's route. In the morning, shopping is done at Ica Oxen, followed by deliveries made with your EPA vehicle. After lunch, the tasks involve about three cleaning assignments performed in the afternoon.

The summer job lasts for a period of 4 weeks during weeks 26-29 or 30-33, and we have 4 positions available. You will be employed as service staff, and we offer you a competitive salary of 115 SEK per hour. When you use your own EPA vehicle, you will also receive a mileage reimbursement of 25 SEK/mile. A supervisor will be assigned to support you in your work, guiding you through the tasks and being available to answer your questions.

It is important that you have good reading comprehension and can understand and speak fluently with residents and colleagues. We appreciate that you are cheerful and positive and dare to take the initiative for activities for residents. No experience is needed, just the right attitude and willingness to learn!
