Job Responsibilities

As a substitute, you are employed by the Staffing Unit but work within the Social Services Administration's activities where there is the greatest need for substitutes. You will first be introduced to one workplace, but if needed and desired, there is the opportunity to work at multiple workplaces. We use the staffing system Time Care Pool where you, as a substitute, indicate your availability for work. We apply direct booking, which is why it is crucial that your availability is accurate. If a need arises at short notice, we will first send an SMS request.

The length of shifts varies, and the working hours are both daytime, evenings, and nights. Therefore, it is important that you can work uncomfortable hours to be employed as a substitute.

As staff in home care, you either go alone or together with a colleague to the clients' homes and assist with personal care, such as dressing and undressing, help during meals, and hygiene. You also participate in social activities. The work varies depending on the client's needs and decisions.

Qualifications

The core of our operations is care, and a good approach is of utmost importance. You have a genuine interest in working with people and a desire to make a difference in their lives and daily routines.

The work requires you to collaborate with others, be attentive, and behave with great respect towards those you meet in all situations. Working with people always means that unpredictable situations can arise, and you are a person who can maintain your calm when the situation demands it. You have a respectful approach and always strive for the best possible meeting.

We are looking for someone who is of legal age, responsible, and has personal maturity. It is important that you are confident in the Swedish language, both spoken and written. It is an advantage if you are a trained nursing assistant or have previous experience in similar work.

Basic computer skills are a requirement. Work in home care and special accommodations may involve uncomfortable working positions and transfers, so you should have a physique that can handle this. A B driver's license is required, as well as the ability to ride a bike.
