Kungälv Municipality is looking for you to make a difference!

We need professional and motivated staff to deliver welfare services of high quality. Here, engagement and professional service go hand in hand while you help influence people's everyday lives and society at large. A good workplace culture and support for your personal development are important to us. Your contribution matters!

⭐Description

Are you ready for the opportunity to broaden your knowledge and meet new wonderful colleagues while making a difference for others? Then you are a good fit for us!

It is advantageous if you have worked in the field before, but it is not a requirement.

However, you need to have a desire to create quality of life for other people. Working as a substitute means you will be paid hourly and step in as needed when someone is absent from the operation.

We are in an exciting time focusing on advocacy roles, further education according to the Elderly Care Boost, and welfare technology. Our goal is to create modern and value-creating home care centers to meet the challenges we face.

The operation should provide support for a meaningful life where users can live under safe conditions, built on respect for self-determination and integrity.

⭐Job Responsibilities

What does it mean to work as a substitute?

When you have been hired as a substitute, you will receive an oral overview from the unit manager/coordinator and an introduction at the workplace together with regular staff who will familiarize you with the tasks. The number of introduction sessions may vary.

You will enter your availability into our substitute system, Time Care Pool. The operation runs every day of the week, day and evening, and we prefer that you make yourself available for at least three shifts per week.

In home care, we work with planned visits in the form of care and service interventions. Some tasks you will perform independently, but colleagues are always nearby if you need help. Other tasks you will perform together with colleagues. Your assignment includes having a good and service-oriented approach towards users, relatives, colleagues, and other partners.

You will:

• Provide support and assistance with transfers, showering, toilet visits, dressing and undressing.
• Serve meals and do some cooking.
• Supervision, respite, escorting.
• Cleaning, laundry, walking, and digital shopping.

As a substitute, you need to complete and be approved for a medication training course provided by the municipality in order to receive medication delegation.

⭐Qualifications

We are looking for you who are interested in working in home care. It is advantageous if you have previous experience in the healthcare profession.

To work in home care, a B driver's license or the ability to cycle is required.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities.

What does our recruitment process look like?

• Selection and interviews take place continuously during the application period based on the needs of the operations.
• You need to provide two managerial references, one of which should be your current or most recent manager. If you have had one or no job previously, you can provide another relevant reference, such as a supervisor or teacher. Please contact your references before you enter their contact details.
