Welcome to work in Support and Care this summer!

You will work on a schedule during period 1 (week 26-29), period 2 (week 30-33), or both periods. We can offer an employment rate of up to 100%, but there is also the possibility to work part-time. The areas you can work in are home care, support for people with disabilities, and elderly care (also called special housing).

The shifts are scheduled for days and evenings, weekdays and weekends. The earliest a shift can start is at 6:30 AM and the latest it can end is at 10:30 PM. For those with previous work experience in support and care, there is the opportunity to work awake nights. In some areas of support for people with disabilities, sleeping on duty is also included, which means you sleep at the workplace.

Introduction

Before your first shift, you will be introduced by a supervisor at the workplace, where you will learn about tasks, routines, and the needs of the users. You will also complete online training. If medication management is part of the tasks, you will need to undergo training in medication delegation.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

You will always start from what the user needs and contribute to their well-being and provide a valuable and secure everyday life. Examples of common tasks include:

• providing support in everyday situations, such as taking walks
• assisting with showering and toilet visits
• cleaning and laundry
• distributing medication (mainly relevant in home care and support for people with disabilities)
• health and medical tasks according to instructions and delegation from a nurse
• documentation in administrative systems

Elderly Care and Short-Term Care

In elderly care and short-term care, there are somatic and dementia departments. Here, you primarily work in a group, but independent work also occurs. Your task is to assist the care recipients with practical care work based on their needs and to organize activities such as outings and board games.

Home Care and Service Unit

In home care, you support the care recipients according to their needs at home. You perform practical care work independently but have regular contact with colleagues and coordinators. Sometimes you work in pairs. In the home care service unit, you only perform service tasks, such as shopping, cleaning, and social activities like walks.

Support for People with Disabilities

Support for people with disabilities includes LSS operations, psychiatric housing, or addiction housing. You work with individuals who have intellectual, physical, neuropsychiatric, or mental disabilities. The work is carried out either in the care recipient's home or in housing. In addition to practical care work, you provide pedagogical support in everyday life, personal care, and create an active everyday life based on the individual's needs and conditions.

QUALIFICATIONS

You are a person with a genuine interest in the individual. Your empathetic ability and understanding of integrity ensure that our care recipients have a safe and valuable everyday life, as well as a respectful approach from you. Of course, you provide good service and find it easy to collaborate with others.

Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability. If you have education and previous experience in care and support, it is an advantage. The tasks include documentation and communication with care recipients, colleagues, and other parties, which requires good knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form.

In home care and some areas of support for people with disabilities, a B driver's license is required, and in some cases, a driver's license for a manual transmission vehicle.

Before an employment offer is made, an acceptable extract from the Police Authority's criminal record must be presented. You will order the criminal record yourself. Once you have submitted your application, you will receive more information in the auto-reply and a link to the police's website for ordering.

Before your first work opportunity, you must be at least 18 years old (AFS 2012:3).

You do not need to attach a personal letter for this recruitment.
