Do you want to help make it possible for the people you meet to live a dignified life and feel well-being? Do you want a varied role where you contribute to an increased quality in care work? We are now looking for a new colleague for the position of specialist nurse assistant! We are based at Torpavallsgatan 9.

As a specialist nurse assistant in home care, you work closely with people and provide support in each person's daily life. You perform care and support work in the person's own home. In your role, you motivate and stimulate the elderly based on their individual conditions, needs, and wishes. As a specialist nurse assistant, you will provide methodological guidance in close care work, in complex care situations, and introduce new colleagues. The services are granted based on assistance and can vary from personal care, support around meals, support in social activities, and certain health care tasks, as well as collaboration with relatives. In your work, you are expected to have in-depth knowledge of dementia. Your specialist competence will contribute to quality-enhancing efforts, including guiding and supporting other care staff.

Your responsibilities include being a fixed care contact, planning, implementing, documenting, and following up on care work with the person in need of support and assistance. It also includes performing health and medical care and rehabilitative interventions as prescribed by a nurse, physiotherapist, and occupational therapist. All social documentation is done digitally. If you have not previously used the systems used within Gothenburg City, you will receive training in these. The people we meet need support both day, evening, and weekend. Your working hours are therefore scheduled.

You will encounter many people's life situations, which can be both interesting and challenging.

We work according to the Social Services Act and the national value framework with a focus on the individual's needs at the center.
