Henjahemmet is a residence for adults aged 18 and older who have some form of dependency issue. The residence is located in Henja and has 6 places.

The role also includes a contact person assignment, where you are responsible for planning and coordinating care for specific residents. This includes maintaining regular contact with internal and external partners, such as social services and other care providers.

An important part of your work is documenting in the operational system Combine, which means that you continuously update implementation plans, write journal notes, and ensure that all documentation is correct and up to date. You also contribute to creating and adapting the living environment to ensure it is safe, structured, and tailored to the specific needs of the residents. Through your work, you make a significant difference in the residents' lives and help them find new paths forward.
