You will follow a service plan and visit clients in their own homes to perform the services that have been approved according to the assistance decision. This includes taking care of personal hygiene and intimate hygiene, showering, cooking, social interaction, cleaning, laundry, shopping, accompanying clients to various institutions, and walking. We work a lot on motivating clients to allow us to perform the services and use various working methods as aids.
We have team leaders and administrators who staff the office during the day, where you can turn for assistance in your daily work.
Who are we
Stockholm's Dementia and Special Team is a home care company that provides services in the client's own home. The organization also offers escort services, respite care, and support housing.
The organization primarily targets clients with varying degrees of dementia, mental health issues, disabilities, and substance abuse problems. Depending on your experience, skills, and interests, you can work more specifically with one of these diseases and diagnoses or a mix.
We work with the time reporting system Paragå, where employees log in and out of each client visit using mobile phones, NFC tags, and document directly on-site in the client's journal. Paragå monitors logins via GPS.
Where are we and how do you get around to the clients
We have clients in 8 different districts, and you will start and end each work shift from Södermalm, where we have our office, regardless of which district you are in during the day. You will get around to clients using public transport or by walking (the organization does not have cars). An SL card is required for this position.
