- You need to be able to ride a bike.

Meritorious competencies:
- Ongoing or completed education in healthcare or pedagogy.

You will be an important resource for other people, and therefore it is required that you are responsible, have an interest in, and enjoy working to provide care and services to those we are here for.
The work requires that you can collaborate with others and behave with great respect towards those you meet in all different situations.
You are a person who can maintain your calm and respond with a low-arousal approach when the situation requires it.

Continuity is important for our care recipients, and we will prioritize you who can work most of the summer in our selection.

Brief about our operations looking for summer substitutes:

Home Care
Home care means that you, either alone or together with a colleague, go to the residents' own homes and help with personal care, meal situations, personal hygiene, and social activities.
Most of our residents are elderly municipal residents.
Within home care, we also have a Night Patrol and Emergency Alarm.
The Night Patrol goes to residents in need of assistance at night, while the Emergency Alarm is responsible for unplanned interventions during the day and evening.

Housing Support/Social Psychiatry
Housing support and social psychiatry involve tasks that serve as support in everyday life for individuals receiving services according to SoL.
This may involve planning and carrying out daily tasks either in the user's home or in housing, etc.
To be considered for summer substitutes in these operations, we prefer that you have education as a social pedagogue, treatment assistant, or nursing assistant in psychiatry. Even if you lack education, experience can be meritorious.

Elderly Care
Our Special Housing provides accommodation with service and care around the clock, where each resident has their own apartment. You assist with personal care, help during meal situations, personal hygiene, and social activities.
Within our housing, there is also night staff who assist as needed during the night.
We also have Special Housing and Group Homes for individuals with psychiatric diagnoses.

LSS Support and Service
With us, you have the opportunity to work to support adults and children with physical, mental, and/or intellectual disabilities.
This is done by motivating, supporting, and helping individuals with the tasks that occur in various moments of everyday life.
In our operations, we work both in group housing/service housing, in children's activities, and in housing teams.
