Care Assistants Needed at Fredslund

Fredslund is a care and nursing home located in Hasslerör, seven kilometers north of Mariestad. Here, a pleasant rural environment prevails where one can sit together with other guests or find a quiet corner to retreat. Walking paths are available around the residence. We have four units at Fredslund, one of which is focused on the Finnish administrative area, meaning there are Finnish-speaking residents and staff. Here at Fredslund, we also have the opportunity to offer respite care.

We now need to hire two care assistants on temporary contracts.

Are you passionate about providing the best possible care for our elderly? Are you a positive and inspiring person who excels at teamwork?

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The job responsibilities consist of personal care, delegated medical tasks, social interaction, and daily chores. The work also involves close collaboration with the unit manager, deputy unit manager, nurses, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists.

We work with a contact person system and advocacy assignments where you, as an employee, have the opportunity to develop and be part of the development of the organization.

At Fredslund, various activities are offered for residents based on their wishes and interests, carried out by the care staff. Examples of activities include reading newspapers/books, baking, chair exercises, quiz walks, music quizzes, reading cafés, walks, movies, pub nights with entertainment, puzzles, and board games. Various churches regularly visit Fredslund. Entertainment of various kinds, such as dance bands, accordion players, and other performances, occurs regularly and is highly appreciated.

We work on a seven-week schedule covering days, evenings, and weekends. This means you will work three out of seven weekends, and you will have two consecutive weekends off during the schedule period.

The positions we are now advertising are two temporary contracts for six months with the possibility of extension.

Together with our 40 fantastic employees, we contribute to making a difference for our care recipients. You are warmly welcome to become a part of us!
