Home Care Day and Service

Sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most.

A kind word, a reassuring hand. That’s home care — and that’s you.

We Offer

As an employee of Karlsborg Municipality, you will of course enjoy benefits such as paid vacation from your first year of employment and individual salary setting. There are also a number of other benefits that employees of Karlsborg Municipality may be entitled to. Please read more about them here (https://karlsborg.se/naringsliv--arbete/jobba-hos-oss/formaner/). You are our most important resource, and we want to help create conditions for a healthy life. We do this by investing in a wide range of wellness offerings, including free swimming, water aerobics, the possibility of free massages, and wellness allowances or wellness hours based on your circumstances.

The Workplace

The Social Services Department in Karlsborg is responsible for elderly care, care for people with disabilities, municipal health care, and individual and family care. The department has about 250 employees. We offer a varied and meaningful job with freedom under responsibility.

The home care service meets the needs for support in daily life for clients who, due to age, illness, or disability, have difficulty managing daily tasks at home on their own. Within home care, we have about 40 employees divided into different teams that primarily work based on the various geographical areas in the municipality. We all operate from Haganäset Elderly Home. We are now looking for a nursing assistant for care services in home care.

In Karlsborg Municipality, we operate based on staffing economics and full-time as the norm, which means that resource shifts to other units may occur.

Job Responsibilities

Every day we make life work for people who need help; people who, for various reasons, need care, encouragement, and support. We help clients feel secure, provide support to relatives, and make everyday life manageable.

We work from a rehabilitative approach with the individual at the center, where good treatment and respect for people's self-determination are our core values. It is important that you are understanding, attentive, and have a professional demeanor.

You are good at making contact, building relationships, and encouraging and supporting the individual. It is a varied job where you need to be flexible based on the client's needs for support with service, personal care, and health care interventions.

The job responsibilities include IT-based documentation and administration. The current employment includes day, evening, and weekend shifts.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who is a trained nursing assistant, preferably with experience. You are expected to be able to work both independently and together with others. Since communication and documentation are important tools in the job, you need to have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.

We document in Viva and use phones as a work tool, so it is important that you are computer literate or interested in learning this.

We are looking for a colleague who wants to contribute to a good and safe working environment, focusing on the mission to provide good and safe care based on the individual's needs and wishes.

A driver's license is a requirement for the position.

Karlsborg Municipality as an Employer

Karlsborg Municipality, with its approximately 7,000 inhabitants, welcomes you to a fantastic living environment and rich recreational opportunities! Karlsborg is the small municipality with the grand location by the shores of Lake Vättern. The fantastic landscape, proximity to the Tiveden forests, along with the lakes and waterways give Karlsborg its unique character - a golden place indeed, which you can experience through a film here (https://youtu.be/aiKLf7PYHiQ).

At Karlsborg Municipality, it is important that every employee can feel pride in their contribution and their work. We believe this is created by giving everyone the opportunity to develop, learn new things, and participate in improvement and development work.
