Dedicated Care Assistant Wanted for New Assisted Living Facility

We are looking for a dedicated care assistant for a new assisted living facility focused on cognitive impairment!

Maglehill is a newly built district located in the western part of Höör. Here we have our newly constructed assisted living facility for individuals with cognitive impairment and dementia. The area includes residential neighborhoods, a newly built preschool, a primary school (grades 1-6), and a sports hall. The distance to the train station is approximately 850 meters.

The assisted living facility Maglehill opened in January 2024. On the first floor, there is Unit 1 with a green corridor symbolizing the forest and Unit 2 with a blue corridor symbolizing water. On the second floor, there is a yellow unit symbolizing light and Unit 4 symbolizing warmth – it is to this floor that we are now seeking more engaged staff, as one of our team members has chosen to work in another field.

Höör is located in the heart of Skåne, has good train connections, beautiful nature, 17,000 inhabitants, and a steady population increase. With around 1,400 employees, Höör Municipality is the largest employer. Many of our staff commute here.

As an employee of Höör Municipality, you will have the opportunity to work in an organization that is constantly evolving. We place great value on communication and work together to create a good working atmosphere through open and constructive dialogue, respect, and tolerance towards colleagues and citizens.

We want to identify your personal strengths, commitment, and competence and utilize them by working with areas of responsibility and advocacy roles. What are you most passionate about in caring for individuals with cognitive impairment?

With us, it is important to actively participate and contribute to a good working climate where we help each other with daily tasks. Something that is appreciated is the ability to organize your work together with colleagues, and we want you to take overall responsibility for the citizens residing in the unit where you work.
