Care Assistant at Mikaeli Home Care

Are you a reliable and driven care assistant who enjoys a flexible job? Do you want to be an important support in the daily lives of our clients in home care? Welcome with your application to us at Mikaeli Home Care!

About the Position

As a care assistant with us, you are a vital part of our clients' daily lives. Here, you support them with care tasks; everything from medication and support stockings to social interaction and escorting. We operate from premises on Älvtomtagatan located centrally in the west. Since our clients are in the local area, we walk or bike between our clients.

We work with a rehabilitative approach and person-centered care where the client's needs, wishes, and abilities guide the goals for rehabilitation. It is important to us that our clients feel secure knowing that we provide good service with high quality. Therefore, we believe that you who are applying see it as a given to always provide a good response to our clients.

At Mikaeli Home Care, we have our own internal organization for service tasks that primarily handles laundry and cleaning. This allows you as a care assistant with us to focus more on care tasks for our clients.

For us, quality and good care are important, and as an employee with us, you are expected to contribute and participate in our development work. Here you have the opportunity to be part of a workgroup with broad competence, where we both work independently and collaborate with the team around our clients!

Examples of Tasks:

• perform care tasks and, based on delegation, some medication management
• plan and develop work independently and together with the team
• establish and follow goal plans, routine descriptions, and action plans together with the client
• collaborate with relatives and others in the client's network, such as nurses and occupational therapists
• document regularly in the organization's documentation system and access existing documentation
• have knowledge of and follow the organization's applicable laws, policies, and routines

Furthermore, you have a positive view of people with great respect for each individual's needs. Additionally, you easily adapt to changing circumstances and see opportunities in changes.
