Markaryd Municipality is a nature-friendly and well-managed border area in Småland, where people and businesses grow and develop in a creative and sustainable environment.

Our mission is to create good conditions for all citizens, visitors, and businesses in our municipality. Collaboration with the non-profit sector and the business community is thus an important part of our development work.

As an employer, we want to see and seize opportunities. This creates potential to build and develop the municipality together, for it is together that we make each other better. Engagement, trust, togetherness – this is our value base, and we take it very seriously. With us, you will find competent and dedicated colleagues and managers. As our employee, we believe in you, support you in your mission, and welcome you to become part of a positive community.

Are you an empathetic and service-oriented person driven by giving people a meaningful existence? Then you may be the right person for us. Markaryd Municipality is now looking for licensed nurses to work as summer substitutes in home care.

In home care, you have the opportunity to make a difference and contribute to a dignified and meaningful everyday life for our patients. We work in teams consisting of district nurses, nurses, and nursing assistants. We have close cooperation with the health centers and their doctors.

What we can offer you: As a summer substitute in Markaryd Municipality, you are offered the opportunity to work as a nurse during the summer. We offer you employment at 100%, and you have the option to work either the entire period or part of it. We work alternating days, evenings, and weekends. If you are a newly graduated nurse, you are offered to work only daytime on weekdays, so you are not alone in unfamiliar situations but always have a more experienced colleague to consult. At night, a nurse is responsible for the entire municipality and collaborates with the night patrol and staff at nursing homes. Please indicate in your application if you are interested in working nights.

Departments seeking summer substitutes: Home care in Markaryd Municipality is divided into two areas: south and north. The southern area covers Markaryd and surrounding areas, including LSS and elderly care homes. The northern area covers Strömsnäsbruk and Traryd and surrounding areas, including LSS and elderly care homes.

What does your workday look like? The day begins with an initial planning and division of the day's tasks, followed by home visits to patients. You perform a variety of tasks such as dressings, medical assessments, and guidance for care staff, etc. In the evenings and on weekends, one nurse works in the north and one in the south. This means that you always have a colleague to collaborate with.

Qualifications We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse. A B driver's license is required. As a person, we prefer that you are social, empathetic, resourceful, and able to work both independently and in a team. You should have good knowledge of Swedish in both speech and writing. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.

The application deadline is 2025-03-31. Recruitment is ongoing, so do not wait to apply! Apply through the system and please attach a CV and cover letter.
