Do you want to improve the everyday life, future, and quality of life for the residents of Linköping? With us, you can combine important tasks with a meaningful everyday life. Welcome to us!

Your Responsibilities

Welcome to Vretaliden Nursing Home, where we focus on creating a safe and meaningful everyday life for our residents. We are now looking for a night care assistant who wants to contribute with their skills and commitment!

As a night care assistant, you will have extensive responsibility for the care of our residents. You will have delegated medical tasks and are expected to have delegation in medicine, feeding tubes, and insulin, with several tasks potentially added. You will actively participate in the work with IBIC (Individual's Needs in Center) and apply a salutogenic approach, which means focusing on supporting our residents' own resources.

We have recently implemented BEATA, an individualized working method that includes digital supervision and digital alarms, which increases the privacy of the residents and reduces the need for physical supervision. You will play an important role in this development.

Documentation is done in the digital journal system Treserva.

Your Workplace

Vretaliden Nursing Home is centrally located in the scenic district of Ljungsbro and offers 19 places for residents, of which 9 are for dementia care. Our facility also includes a sheltered housing with associated apartments. Your primary placement will be in the dementia department, but you are expected to work in the somatic department and other cluster activities as needed.

With us, you will have the opportunity to develop within dementia care and in an advocacy role where you are expected to contribute knowledge and interest in an area we will agree upon together. We use modern digital tools as an integrated part of the work and offer further education to strengthen your competencies in this area. The work is scheduled for nights.

We believe that a meaningful everyday life means more than just care. Here, a varied range of activities is offered based on the residents' interests and needs, and we would like you to contribute to creating a stimulating and engaging atmosphere. We organize activities such as chair exercises, movie nights, and walks, and our staff actively work to adapt the activities according to the residents' abilities and interests. Our ambition is to create a homelike environment where each individual feels seen and heard.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who has a recognized Swedish care assistant education with a professional certificate from the National Board of Health and Welfare. Experience in elderly care, dementia care, and delegated medical tasks is a requirement, as you will have greater responsibility during the night. It is an advantage if you have experience using IBIC (Individual's Needs in Center) as a tool for documentation and planning. If you have previously worked with a salutogenic approach, where the focus is on the individual's strengths and resources, we see it as a benefit. It is also advantageous if you have worked nights before.

To perform the tasks, you need to express yourself well in Swedish, both verbally and in writing, as clear communication with colleagues, residents, and their relatives is central. If necessary, you will work at Ekhult Nursing Home, which is somewhat isolated without public transport connections. Therefore, a B driver's license and access to your own car are required.

We are looking for someone who has good collaboration skills and relates to others in a responsive manner. You take responsibility for your tasks and work independently with a clear structure. Empathy is central to the role, as you need to be able to understand the residents' situations without taking over their feelings. Furthermore, you have the ability to communicate clearly and ensure that expectations and information are conveyed. Flexibility is also important as the work involves quickly adapting to the residents' changing needs and circumstances.

Welcome to become part of our dedicated team where together we create a safe and meaningful everyday life for our residents!
