What we offer you!

Working as a care assistant in home care means that you meet our care recipients in their own homes. The work is practical, varied, and at times physically demanding. You move between care recipients, often by bicycle or car, and assist with both care and service in the home.

The job requires that you can walk up stairs, bend down, lift, and sometimes work in tight spaces. There may also be heavier tasks, such as cleaning, carrying groceries, or assisting care recipients with transfers between bed and wheelchair.

You follow basic hygiene routines, wear work clothes, and maintain a respectful and professional demeanor towards care recipients, colleagues, relatives, and others we meet in our work.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with personal care, such as showering, hygiene, dressing, and toilet visits
• Preparing or heating simple meals and serving food
• In the role, you will administer medication, which means you need to receive delegation from licensed personnel
• Assisting with cleaning, laundry, bed-making, and waste sorting
• Shopping and accompanying on errands
• Providing social support, conversation, and walks
• Documenting in digital systems and reporting according to SBAR to ensure good quality and safe care
• Collaborating with nurses, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists as needed
• Being a contact person or permanent care contact and planning how services will be performed together with the individual

The municipality of Hässleholm wants to create the best conditions for a sustainable work life, so that you can thrive, feel good, and experience job satisfaction. An important part is to offer good benefits to our employees, such as wellness grants and the opportunity to exchange vacation day supplements for days off.
