Vacant job

Are you one of our care stars this summer?

We are looking for several summer substitutes who are interested in working in elderly care with a focus on care homes and short-term accommodation. The summer job period is from week 26 to 33, and there is an opportunity to start as a temporary substitute already now.

Are you looking for a meaningful and appreciated summer job with good opportunities to continue working with us even after the summer? Are you genuinely interested in helping other people?

Then you might be one of the people we are looking for!

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

There are six different care homes in the municipality of Mariestad, one of which includes short-term accommodation. Working in these homes means that you will support individuals with care and social needs.

The tasks are varied and include, for example, personal care such as assisting with toilet and shower situations, dressing and undressing, distributing medications, helping with meals, and service tasks such as laundry, simple cooking, and social interaction. The homes also organize various activities where you will play an active role in the implementation. Activities may involve playing games, reading books, listening to music, playing bingo, reading the newspaper, baking, cooking, coffee gatherings, etc. During weekends, we usually have some Friday fun and enjoy something tasty in front of the TV.

You will work in a team with several colleagues in the same department, and you may also assist between different departments in the home where you work.

This job is for you who are outgoing and enjoy collaborating with colleagues and contributing to meaningful activities for the elderly. You will have contact with colleagues, unit managers, nurses, and relatives during a work shift.

The working hours are mixed, and you will work both day shifts, evening shifts, and weekend shifts. There are also opportunities for night shifts at some workplaces.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are primarily looking for someone who has completed or is currently pursuing a nursing education, childcare education, or other equivalent training. Alternatively, we are looking for someone with experience working with people in need of support or experience from service professions.

You should be engaged and curious in your work, as well as have a strong sense of responsibility. Furthermore, you should be attentive to the residents' needs and have a genuine interest in helping others. You must master the Swedish language in both spoken and written form to communicate with users and document events and other information in your work.

It is very important that you can collaborate well with other colleagues and contribute with flexibility and joy at work.

Since two of our homes are located outside the urban area, it is an advantage if you have a driver's license for these workplaces. If you have experience and knowledge of alternative communication methods, that is also a plus. Some digital skills are also required as much of the work - both your work schedule and documentation - is handled via apps.

We also expect you to be able to work irregular hours, which means working both during the day, evenings, and weekends.

Due to the requirements of the Swedish Work Environment Authority regarding care work, you must be at least 18 years old.

What can we offer you?

For new substitutes, you will undergo guided introductory and training parts to feel secure in your work. As a summer worker with us, you will also have access to free outdoor swimming at Ekudden's outdoor pools. You will also have friendly colleagues, develop your human intelligence, and gain good qualifications for the future!
