Job Responsibilities

Do you want to help the people you meet live a dignified life and feel well-being? Do you want a varied role where you contribute to increased quality in care work? We are now looking for nursing assistants for our units in Bergsjön, Kviberg, Kortedala, and Gamlestan/Utby.

As a nursing assistant in home care, you work closely with people and provide support in each person's daily life. You perform care and support work in people's own homes. In your role, you motivate and stimulate the elderly based on their individual conditions, needs, and wishes.

The services are granted based on assistance and can vary from personal care, support during meals, assistance in social activities, and some health care tasks, as well as collaboration with relatives and other actors in health care.

Your tasks include being a permanent care contact, planning, implementing, documenting, and following up on care work with the person in need of support and help. It also includes performing health care and rehabilitative interventions as prescribed by a nurse, physiotherapist, and occupational therapist. All social documentation is done digitally. If you have not previously used the systems used within the City of Gothenburg, you will receive training in these. The people we meet need support both during the day, evening, and weekend. Therefore, your working hours are scheduled.

You will be exposed to many people's life situations, which can be both interesting and challenging. As a nursing assistant in home care, you work independently but also together with others in the shared care work. We work according to the Social Services Act and the national value base with a focus on the individual's needs at the center.
