Welcome to Sundsvall Municipality!

Sundsvall Municipality is one of the largest employers in Norrland with around 8,000 employees and over 300 professions. Together, we fulfill one of the most important missions in society – to create benefit and value for residents, businesses, and future generations. Regardless of the activity, we work towards the same goal: to be a great place to live, work, and thrive.

We are currently in an exciting phase of development. We are a pioneer in digital development and artificial intelligence, leading the work to create smart solutions for the future public sector.

Sundsvall plays a central role in the green transition in northern Sweden. We are convinced that the right places for this transition are here. As a municipality, we are preparing to grow by preparing land, creating new educational opportunities, marketing the municipality, and welcoming new residents from around the world.

Your new workplace

Solgården Elderly Home is a residence for elderly people, with 49 places, both somatic and dementia places.

The residence is located in Indal and is built on two floors with 3 departments. The residence is staffed around the clock and has a nurse on site during weekdays, while other times nurses are available in the municipality.

We who work at Solgården are responsible for ensuring that the residents feel safe and receive the help and support they need. The need for assistance varies from simple practical tasks at home to advanced and qualified care as well as health and medical services.

At Solgården, we have many areas of responsibility, where there are great opportunities to develop and take responsibility, both individually and in groups. For example, regarding documentation and health and medical assignments.

The current position involves work across all three departments, two dementia departments, and one somatic department.

The scope of this position is 61%, and working hours are scheduled for night shifts (weekdays and weekends).

Your contribution as a nursing assistant

As a nursing assistant, your tasks include providing high-quality care to our care recipients based on individual needs. You should be able to work both independently and collaboratively with others in the team. We work in teams that include care staff, nurses, and rehabilitation personnel.

Tasks include:

  • Providing care and service to residents with high quality.
  • Establishing and following up on night interventions in the implementation plan in close communication with the care recipient.
  • Documentation according to SoL and HSL.
  • Risk assessments regarding the care recipient and the work environment.

You have good computer skills. A driver's license (B) is required if you do not live in the local area, as public transport is insufficient.

We are looking for you who:
