Exciting things are happening in picturesque Karlskoga right now. In our city, you are always close to both beautiful nature and the high-tech industrial sector. We offer you a welcoming workplace where people and innovations can grow. Welcome to a meaningful job where you can truly make a difference!

Karlskoga Municipality works with competence-based recruitment aimed at recognizing each person's skills and thus counteracting discrimination.

The Social Administration works to ensure that all citizens can receive the support they may need in various situations. This is done within the framework of social services' mission and various legislations, as well as based on the Social Administration's values. This may involve home care, special housing, advice and support for people with disabilities, financial assistance, or help with addiction problems. The municipality's competence supply unit is also part of the administration.

The Social Administration is divided into five areas: Home Care, care and nursing homes, health and medical care, individual and family care, and the area for people with disabilities.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As an assistant nurse in home care, you play an important role in direct contact with our clients, providing personal care and service tasks such as cleaning and laundry.

The work also includes medical and rehabilitative interventions such as dressings and medication administration, as well as digital documentation. The work is carried out with great consideration for each client's individual needs. We work with a fixed care contact, which means that you will have primary responsibility for some of the clients.

You will be part of a team consisting of both assistant nurses and care assistants. You contribute positively to the development of the operations in close collaboration with the manager and your colleagues. In line with the new social services law, we welcome your interest in working preventively and knowledge-based.

Work is scheduled for days, evenings, and weekends. Most tasks are performed in the client's home, which you reach by walking, cycling, or driving.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who has completed a high school care program or equivalent. For permanent employment, a professional certificate as an assistant nurse is required.

You have good IT skills, meaning you are comfortable using a computer/tablet for documenting, reporting, and reading emails as required by the operations.

You master the Swedish language well enough to communicate both verbally and in writing with clients, colleagues, and relatives as required by the operations.

Your personal competencies are characterized by being:

• Confident in your professional role and working based on the principle of equal value for all people.
• Structured and responsible with the ability to independently plan, take initiative, and see improvements.
• Attentive and flexible with the client's needs at the center.

Of course, you contribute to a positive work climate where collaboration and good treatment of clients, colleagues, other professionals, and relatives are self-evident for you.

Since the job involves a lot of movement, you should have good physical fitness to handle this.

You have a B driving license and driving experience.

Previous work in care is an advantage.
