With us, you will have the opportunity to work closely with our users, where you are a key person in creating a meaningful and individualized everyday life. As a care assistant, your tasks will include everything from basic care – such as personal hygiene and transfers – to specific rehabilitation and medical interventions. You will also contribute to the well-being by performing household tasks such as cleaning and laundry.
