Care Assistant at the Health and Care Administration

The position is located within the Health and Care Administration, which is one of eight administrations in Linköping Municipality. The Health and Care Administration is responsible for the municipality's elderly care, health care, authority exercise, ordering of services, and operates care and support in its own right. We work with quality awareness and professionalism to make every day as good as possible for the residents of Linköping who need us. Do you want to brighten everyday life and improve the quality of life for the residents of Linköping? With us, you can make an important difference and help make Linköping a better place. Welcome to us!

Your Responsibilities

Our vision is clear: "Smart Care for the Future." Do you want to help shape the future of care and support? Then you might be the one we are looking for! To meet the aging population while maintaining good quality, we need to increase our workforce with the right skills.

In May 2026, Linköping Municipality will take over responsibility for home care, home health care, home rehabilitation, and assessed assistance housing in the southwestern area, which includes Lambohov, Skäggetorp, Vikingstad, and Ulrika/Nykil.

In home care, you provide support and care directly in people's homes. Here, you have the opportunity to truly make a difference and become a crucial part of someone's life every day. You will encounter a wide variety of needs and challenges, making the work both varied and rewarding.

As a care assistant, you will play a central role in ensuring good care for our elderly at night. The work is independent and varied, with no two nights being the same. The main focus is on care tasks such as medication management and supervision, but service-related tasks are also included. The position involves carrying out both planned interventions and responding to alarms. We start from Ålerydsvägen 7 and travel from there to those who need our help by car.

Your Workplace

The Health and Care Administration is growing, and we are looking for someone who wants to be involved from the start and develop our operations. If you are driven by development, this is an opportunity for you.

Together with our 1,500 employees, we work to ensure that the residents of Linköping have a meaningful and dignified existence. Every year, we provide care and support for approximately 4,100 people and contribute to the municipality's development in the sector.

The night organization belongs to the open care forms department and is aimed at individuals living in ordinary housing or assisted living who need help during the night. We work in clusters but operate in all home care areas belonging to Linköping Municipality. With us, you will be part of a team of knowledgeable and experienced employees who, together with planners and the operations manager, work to provide the best possible care for our elderly.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is a trained care assistant. We consider it an advantage if you have experience working in support, care, and assistance, and if you have previously worked nights, we see it as very positive.

Work in elderly care involves a lot of contact with clients and documentation, which means that it is a requirement that you can communicate orally and in writing in Swedish. We also consider additional language skills as an advantage.

You have good computer skills and the ability to use digital tools in your work. For the position, you need to have a B driver's license as we use a car in the work.

As a person, you are secure, stable, and self-aware. You are self-driven and take responsibility for your tasks, pushing your work forward. You also work well with others and listen and communicate clearly, with the ability to adapt your communication style. It is also important that you have an empathetic ability and can understand others' perspectives and situations.
