About the Position

As a nursing assistant or caregiver at Elmstagården, you work closely with people in need of care and support. Your tasks include personal care, assistance during meals, social interaction, and walks. You are also expected to work with delegated tasks from nurses/rehab and follow applicable routines and guidelines. The work is varied, and you work both independently and together with colleagues. The job requires great commitment, and you are expected to actively participate in developing and improving the operations.

The shifts are scheduled for days, evenings, and every other weekend. If you have previous experience with night work, we may be able to offer you night shifts as needed. The employment rate varies between 75-100%. The schedule starts from week 25, but training will be ongoing throughout the spring.

Please note that public transport is limited, so we prefer that you have a driver's license or an alternative means of getting to Elmstagården if you live far away.

In this process, we will check citizenship. If you are not a citizen of Sweden, the EU, EEA, or Switzerland, you must be able to present a valid residence/work permit or prove that you are exempt from the requirement to have a work permit.

We offer an introductory training and work clothes.

• Performing delegated tasks from nurses or rehab staff.
• Working both independently and in collaboration with colleagues to provide the best possible care for our residents.

It is an advantage if you also:

• Are a trained nursing assistant and have applied for a protected professional title.
• Have experience working in care and nursing homes.
• Have experience from night work.
• Have a driver's license as public transport is limited, especially on weekends.

As you will be replacing regular staff, we expect you to be self-sufficient but able to ask for help when needed.

You share our values based on participation, safety, and respect. We place great importance on personal suitability.
