Vacant job

Description

We are now looking for a couple of dedicated employees for the nursing home on Sveagatan, which will transition from Vardaga to municipal management starting March 1.

With us, you will have the opportunity to work in a meaningful and developing environment where we together create conditions for our residents to achieve increased quality of life!

Employment Type:

We are looking for one employee for a permanent position and one for a 6-month temporary position.

About Sveagatan:

Sveagatan is located in the Herrhagen district. The residence consists of three floors with ten places on each floor. The nursing home is adapted for people with dementia. In the surrounding area, there are Herrhagsparken, shops, and public transport.

• Trained Staff: We have a Competence Center that introduces and trains all new hires in areas such as interaction, dementia, and how we provide good care.
• Young Care: We collaborate with the company Young Care. This means that a team of youth aged 14-18 visits us on weekends and holidays. Young Care engages in various activities with us to enhance the quality of life for the residents.
• Coordinator: Works with planning and coordination and spends part of their time working in the operation. This can also be a career opportunity for you as a nursing assistant.
• Unit Manager: Is present to provide support and assistance to employees and relatives as needed.

Working Hours:

Day and evening shifts during weekdays and every other weekend. We work together in a team and have staff on site around the clock, actively working to create a supportive and learning work environment.

Job Responsibilities

At the residence, primarily elderly individuals with dementia live, but there is also a mix of different diagnoses and needs. Your task is to provide quality of life. You see each individual and have the ability to understand what each person needs. Thanks to you, those who live with us can maintain their lifestyle and habits. At the same time, you develop valuable knowledge about care, service, and aging.

As a nursing assistant/caregiver, you play a key role in a team with a nurse, occupational therapist, and physiotherapist who work closely together to offer comprehensive support to the care recipients.

Together with the care recipient, we design individual interventions that strengthen independence and participation. The work involves various tasks, such as personal care, cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and motivating social interaction and activities. You will actively work with case management, implementation plans, and social documentation. We work with quality registers BPSD and Senior Alert and document what we do in the operational system Treserva. You also perform delegated tasks, including medication management.

Qualifications

You who are applying to us:

• are attracted to a job that is varied and requires extensive knowledge of care and support but also a talent for meeting people in different situations.
• are a creative person who dares to think independently, take responsibility, and solve various situations effectively.
• enjoy working in a team and supporting your colleagues and are attentive to others' needs.
• are flexible and open to change, contributing to continuous improvements with us.

We see that you are a trained nursing assistant/caregiver or have equivalent experience working in elderly care and with individuals with dementia diagnoses. Experience with the Treserva system and the methods BPSD and Senior Alert that we use is also an advantage.

Good knowledge of the Swedish language in speech and writing is a requirement, but otherwise, your CV is not the most important. If you have the right qualities, we will provide you with support and opportunities to grow.

Based on the assignment, you have a genuine interest in people, a strong sense of good care and the individual's integrity, as well as a good approach. You see opportunities rather than obstacles, and we welcome your new thoughts and ideas for our operations!

Other:

Of course, you will receive an introduction that covers all areas - from values, introduction to aids and transfers - to meals, hygiene, and documentation routines.

Salary:

We apply individual salary setting. Start date: To be agreed upon.
