Then you are warmly welcome!

About the Position

As a care assistant with us, you will work with the most meaningful task we know; supporting people in their daily lives in their home environment. Our focus is on utilizing the individual's own abilities and resources.

You will be welcomed by a team of other care assistants, nurses, nursing aides, and occupational therapists. All with the same main purpose, namely to be there for those we support. You have a special responsibility for your clients based on your role as a designated care contact, but all staff share a common responsibility to ensure that the work maintains good quality and that we follow the guidelines and decisions that come with the assignment.

We are proud of the common values that permeate our care work. All employees work from a rehabilitative approach where the customer is at the center. The customer's needs, resources, and wishes should guide the goals for rehabilitation.

Examples of Duties:

• perform care tasks and, based on delegation, some medication management
• perform service tasks such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and shopping
• plan and develop work independently and together with the team
• establish and follow goal plans, routine descriptions, and action plans together with the customer
• collaborate with relatives and others in the customer's network, such as nurses and occupational therapists

About the Workplace

Wadköping home care is located right next to the green oasis Stadsparken, and we have about 40 employees in the unit.

Our new workplace, Hälsokvarteret Wadköping, is not far from our current premises. There, we plan to create the future of home care!

The area of care and support is part of the Social Administration. The operation includes care and support, preventive activities, authority functions in the area, as well as housing placement and housing adaptation. Within the area of care and support, we work to support and help people who need care, support, or assistance in their daily lives.
