Trainer for Skills Development in Elderly Care

On behalf of the Swedish National Agency for Education, Merit AB is conducting a skills development program for staff in elderly care. The initiative targets care and support staff, language representatives, and their managers. The aim is to strengthen communication in meetings with care recipients, relatives, and colleagues – and to increase knowledge about the mission, values, and quality-assured working methods of elderly care.

Do you want to contribute to a more language-developing and inclusive elderly care? As a trainer, your task will be to teach vocational Swedish with themes such as the mission of care, approach and ethics, intercultural communication, collaboration within the team, documentation, and digital tools. You will also work on establishing contacts with municipalities, care providers, and operational managers to promote the skills development program.

We are looking for someone who:

• has experience in teaching Swedish as a second language, preferably with a vocational focus
• is accustomed to adapting teaching to the needs and language levels of participants
• has good knowledge of elderly care and its mission
• has high digital competence and experience with learning platforms
• if you also have experience in adult education, mentoring, or language representative work, that is a big plus!

Are you in the middle of your university studies or already working part-time? No worries – we are open to different working hours.
