Care Staff for Västerås City

Västerås City has removed the personal letter from the application process. We do this to achieve a better and fairer recruitment process. When you submit your application, you will be asked to answer a number of questions that will become an important part of our selection work.

With your commitment and competence, you contribute to safe care in our customers' home environments. You will have an active and independent job where your efforts create a meaningful everyday life for our elderly.

Your Responsibilities

Through regular visits, you build a close and trusting relationship with each customer. You assist with personal care and support at home while encouraging an active and independent lifestyle. We always work with the customer's own abilities in focus and support them in what they can no longer manage on their own.

As a primary care contact, you are responsible for a number of customers with whom you jointly establish implementation plans, and you follow up on the services to ensure they are carried out in the best possible way. Collaboration is a central part of the role, and you serve as an important link between the customer, relatives, and other professionals to create cohesive and safe care.

In the workgroup, you help to take responsibility for emergency alarms. Our customer area extends over Skultuna and adjacent countryside, which means you need to have a B driver's license and be comfortable cycling as well as driving a car regardless of the weather.

Your Competence

You are a trained nursing assistant and have a genuine commitment to enhancing the quality of life for our elderly. We view it positively if you have experience from home care or working with individuals living with mental health issues or dementia. You express yourself well in Swedish, both spoken and written. The workday may involve many transfers and some heavy lifting, which requires you to have good physical condition and mobility. You thrive in an independent work environment and can easily adapt when circumstances change. You contribute warmth, attentiveness, and care in your interactions with our customers.

We Offer

Here you have the opportunity to join a team characterized by thoughtfulness, professional pride, and commitment. Together, we share the drive to keep the customer's best interests at the forefront of everything we do. You will have a job where you can build relationships and make a significant difference for our customers.

Professional development is important to us, and we see it as a key success factor. We operate from Vallonen's nursing home, which allows us to work closely with other professionals and provides good opportunities for knowledge exchange. Right now, we are working together in a dementia team where we deepen our expertise and learn from each other to provide the best possible support to customers with dementia.

Here, you become part of something bigger! With warmth and respect, we show initiative in both large and small matters. We live our values in our interactions with each other and those we serve. Every day, all year round, we ensure that Västerås functions. Together with your approximately 11,500 colleagues throughout the city, you will have Sweden's most important job.
