Your Responsibilities

As a substitute worker in support, care, and assistance, you have a meaningful job where you make a difference for various people!

You can work in elderly care, LSS (the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons), or social psychiatry. The work involves supporting individuals in their daily lives based on their needs and conditions, with the goal of promoting their individual abilities and independence. Tasks include assisting with personal care such as dressing, bathing, and toilet visits, as well as performing daily chores such as cleaning, laundry, and shopping. You will also offer and support individuals in various activities and social interactions.

We are looking for you who want to work as a substitute during the spring

We would also like you to be able to work during the summer. Even if you are only interested in working during the summer but can attend an introduction in the spring, you are welcome. During the summer period weeks 25-32, you have the opportunity to work on a schedule either for the first period (weeks 25-28), the second period (weeks 29-32), or both periods. Working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, and weekends. In some operations, there is sleeping duty, and in others, you may also work awake nights.

To ensure a safe start, you will receive an introduction where you will shadow and be mentored by experienced staff for about five shifts, as well as complete a digital introductory training.

Your Workplace

We have over 100 different operations, and as a substitute worker with us, you can work in one of the following areas:

• Elderly Care: We support elderly individuals in their daily lives with the goal of strengthening their individual abilities. You can work in a nursing home where you, together with colleagues, assist individuals who live in the facility and need care and support around the clock. Some facilities have specializations such as dementia, somatics, or short-term care.
• Home Care: Here, you independently or together with a colleague visit individuals who remain in their homes but need support in their daily lives. During the shift, you have shorter support interventions scheduled with several different individuals. The extent of the interventions varies and is adapted to each individual's unique needs.
• LSS: We support adults and children with intellectual disabilities, diagnoses within the autism spectrum, acquired brain injuries, or other extensive disabilities.
• Social Psychiatry: We support individuals with mental or neuropsychiatric variations as well as individuals with substance abuse and social issues.

Who We Are Looking For

We consider education to be an advantage. It is a plus if you have started high school or have passed grades in SFI C. Education in health and care, child and leisure, or post-secondary studies in health and behavioral fields is seen as particularly meritorious. Previous experience from work or internships in support, care, and assistance is also meritorious.

For work in social psychiatry and HVB homes, it is a requirement that you have a complete education from the health and care program or have completed at least 60 higher education credits in social work or health care. Alternatively, another complete high school education is required in combination with at least one year of care experience.

You need to be at least 18 years old and able to perform personal care for both female and male clients. Since the work involves a lot of communication and documentation, it is required that you have a good ability to communicate verbally and in writing in Swedish and have good computer skills.

In some operations, it may be necessary to be able to cycle, while others may require a driver's license. For some operations, it may also be an advantage to have access to your own car.

We are looking for someone who works well with others and listens and communicates clearly. You are self-motivated and have an empathetic ability to understand others' perspectives and situations.
