Do you want a fun and independent job and be part of a wonderful team? Welcome to us!

ASIH Stockholm Södra is a region-driven operation with extensive experience in advanced home healthcare and palliative care, and is one of Sweden's largest ASIH operations.

Within the organization, we conduct research, education, and development in several areas.

Our care is person-centered, and our values are based on patient meetings, participation, employee engagement, close leadership, and joy at work. We work in a multiprofessional team with doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, dietitians, social workers, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists. Together, we have a working method that promotes good quality and high safety for patients, relatives, and employees. We are supported by regular visits from a chaplain from the hospital church, volunteers, and clown medicine. We also have close cooperation with our other ASIH teams located in Solberga, Handen, Nacka, and Långbro Park.

In our bright newly renovated premises in Solberga, we have 24 care places. We care for individuals aged 18 and older with various diagnoses, the most common being cancer, COPD, heart failure, and neurological diseases. Our patients have a limited remaining lifespan and may have active treatments to slow the progression, alleviate symptoms, and/or increase quality of life. With a holistic view of the individual, our focus is on creating security around the clock for the patient and their relatives through high availability, participation, and continuity. Naturally, relatives are welcome to stay in the department 24/7.
