Care Assistant at Umeå Norra Short-term Center

We in the elderly care sector of Umeå municipality are here to – in proximity and interaction – liberate and strengthen people's ability to live an independent life.

At Umeå Norra Short-term Center on Mariehemsvägen, we work with recovery and everyday rehabilitation. Our operations are designed to provide each resident with the best possible support to regain their abilities and be able to stay at home for as long as possible.

With us, you will work in bright and modern premises with 64 apartments spread over four floors. Here you will find a work environment that promotes both comfort and development – a rehabilitation-adapted gym, a cozy visiting room, and a green outdoor area for recovery and social interaction.

We are now looking forward to welcoming two care assistants to our dedicated team!

Your Responsibilities

As a care assistant with us, you are an important part of each resident's recovery. We work person-centered and see the healthy aspects of the individual – focusing on preserving and strengthening the abilities that exist.

Your responsibilities include, among other things:

• Personal care and hygiene
• Documentation of actions and health status
• Contact person assignments where the resident's participation is central

You collaborate closely with colleagues, nurses, and rehabilitation staff to ensure high-quality care. Mobility aids are always used when transfers and lifts occur.

About You

We are looking for someone who is a trained care assistant with experience in elderly care. We would also appreciate experience in medication delegation.

To communicate with residents, relatives, and colleagues, write and participate in care documentation, and receive medication delegation, you need to have good knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form.

We seek someone who meets people with empathy, sensitivity, and genuine commitment. You thrive in a role where you take responsibility, collaborate with others, and are happy to contribute ideas that develop the operations and make a real difference. You have a patient and respectful approach and a good attitude in all situations, even when the pace is high or conditions change rapidly. The role also involves contact with various authorities, which means you work in a structured and careful manner and feel comfortable with documentation and follow-up.

We Offer You

Secure permanent employment with working hours scheduled for days, evenings, and weekends. With us, you become part of a competent and dedicated team where we help each other succeed. You will work in a safe and developing environment where your efforts truly make a difference – every day.
