Description

We are looking forward to you – warmly welcome to us!

Do you want a meaningful job where you make a difference for other people every day? We are now looking for substitutes for our special accommodations, home care, and activities within support for people with disabilities and social psychiatry.

Our working method is supportive and rehabilitative, focusing on utilizing the individual's resources and abilities.

We offer summer substitutes where you work according to a schedule that includes days, evenings, weekends, and/or nights. There is an opportunity to start working as early as spring, as we have an ongoing need for hourly substitutes throughout the year. You will have the chance to work in several workplaces and within different activities, providing varied and developing work.

We are looking for you who enjoy creating good meetings, want to contribute to safety, and have a genuine interest in people.

Job Responsibilities

We are looking for summer substitutes in the following areas:

Home Care and Special Accommodations - Elderly Care

We are looking for nursing assistants/care assistants for:

• The elderly home Lintjärn, which is our care and dementia home in Forshaga, and the elderly home Ullerudsgården, which is our corresponding facility in Deje.

You are responsible, can make your own decisions, and have good collaboration skills. You work attentively, professionally, and with a respectful approach.

It is advantageous if you have relevant education, such as from the nursing program, child and leisure program, or pedagogical education, but it is not a requirement. Experience from similar work is a plus. A B driver's license is advantageous.

You are calm, attentive, and service-oriented with a desire to help others.
