JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

In the short-term unit, we work with rehabilitation, advanced medical care, and palliative care as well as care, support, and rehabilitation at home. As a care assistant with us, you will be part of an engaged and positive group that enjoys working together, helping and supporting each other in development. Together with your colleagues, you will be a key person in the network around the patient, which means you motivate and stimulate based on each individual's conditions, needs, and wishes. We work with a rehabilitative approach and focus on the strengths of each patient. We want our patients to feel secure and become as independent as possible.

As a care assistant, you will perform regular tasks within municipal care services and health care. Your tasks will primarily include documentation, care work involving personal care and hygiene, cleaning, laundry, waste management, motivational work, palliative care, and care at the end of life, as well as individually tailored interventions based on needs. You will take significant personal responsibility, and it is important that you feel comfortable with that.

Since the work may partly take place in someone's home, you may be exposed to cigarette smoke and pets.

You are responsible and take your tasks seriously, completing what you start and ensuring that the work is done correctly. You show respect and consideration for those you meet in your professional role and base your actions on everyone's equal value, creating a good atmosphere in interactions with others.

We are looking for someone who can easily adapt their working methods based on changing conditions and can quickly change their perspective and approach while seeing opportunities in changes.
