Vacant job

We are Varberg Municipality, the employer that sees the opportunities in you. Here you can make a difference, both for others and for yourself. We are driven by the idea of simplifying people's everyday lives and realizing their dreams. We do this with the help of knowledge, innovative courage, and a forward-thinking spirit. Welcome to contribute to our work towards our vision – to become the creative center of the west coast.

The Social Administration is responsible for providing support, care, and assistance to people at various stages of life. We work based on the individual's needs and offer services based on several laws, including the Social Services Act (SoL), the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons (LSS), and the Health and Medical Services Act.

This can involve providing the elderly with a safe and meaningful everyday life, supporting people with disabilities, or being there for children, adolescents, and adults in vulnerable life situations.

With us, you meet each individual with respect and professionalism. We collaborate across professional boundaries – both within our own administration, with other parts of the municipality, and with external actors. To ensure quality and development, we actively work with follow-up, improvement work, and digitalization.

Here you make a real difference – every day.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Working as a care assistant with us means being an important part of people's everyday lives. You get to use your care and commitment to make a difference every day. We are looking for you who want to contribute to creating safety, continuity, and good care for people who need support, whether it is at home, in a special accommodation, group home, or within social psychiatry.

As a care assistant, you provide support in daily living to individuals in need of care. This may involve assistance with personal care, meals, transfers, and creating a meaningful everyday life for the user. The work is based on individual implementation plans and aims to strengthen the individual's independence and participation.

You work closely with colleagues and other professionals, and it is included to document interventions according to applicable guidelines. The role requires good communication, flexibility, and a professional approach always centered on the user's needs.

The work is scheduled both during the day, evenings, and weekends, depending on the needs of the operation.

QUALIFICATIONS

To thrive in the role, you need to be confident in yourself, have a respectful attitude, and want to contribute to a good work environment. You need to be meticulous, service-oriented, and have the ability to adapt to different people's needs.

The work requires good collaboration skills, but also that you can take responsibility and work independently. It is important that you are attentive, aware of changes, and can handle both routine situations and more unexpected events in everyday life. You need to have the ability to document in digital systems according to applicable routines.

We also see that you have:

• Good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing
