JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We are now looking for you, who with a warm, committed, and responsible approach want to work as a nursing assistant/care assistant in our home care during the summer. With us, you will have the opportunity to work closely with people, create security, and contribute to our residents being able to live an independent and meaningful life in their own homes. We work according to the Social Services Act and the national value base with a focus on the individual's needs at the center.

As an employee in home care, you will provide support, service, and care based on the individual’s specific needs. The work is based in one of our various offices located in Alstermo, Lenhovda, or Åseda.

The job responsibilities include, among other things:

• Personal care

The work is independent but with close support from colleagues. You meet people in different life situations and contribute to making each day as good as possible for them. In the professional role, you are required to show respect and consideration for those you meet in your work. You have an open and positive attitude and have the individual's needs as the starting point for your actions. You have the ability to work together with others to perform tasks and achieve goals.

QUALIFICATIONS

We see that you are a calm, secure, and approachable individual with good communication skills in the Swedish language and experience in documenting in various systems. You understand the common mission, act accordingly, and contribute to the whole. You work efficiently, can balance different demands, and remain calm in difficult situations. It is an advantage if you have experience from home care or other care work, but the most important thing is your attitude and willingness to learn.
