Your Workplace

The Health and Care Administration is responsible for the municipality's elderly care, health care, authority exercise, ordering of services, and provides care and support in its own right. Each year, we provide care and support to approximately 4,100 residents of Linköping, of which about 1,350 live in special accommodations and about 2,800 receive home care. To meet the increasing number of elderly people and the rapid digital development, we are currently reviewing our organization. Our ability to change and adapt our working methods is crucial to ensure continued good and relevant care.

The administration's authority exercise for assessments is divided into two units: central unit and western and eastern unit. The central unit also includes the Discharge Team and Reception Team, and there are also resource coordinators in the unit. In total, we are about 40 employees and three unit coordinators who help prioritize and distribute the work.

The Discharge Team consists of six assessors with a strong commitment to enabling a good discharge process. You will collaborate closely with various actors in the municipality, such as home health care and external parties from the hospital. The work also includes close contact with the individual and their relatives.

Our workplace is centrally located near Linköping's travel center at Hertig Karlsgatan 4. In the autumn of 2026, we plan to move to Repslagaregatan 6. Working hours are Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and we apply flexible working hours.
