Your Responsibilities

As a care assistant/certified nursing assistant in Hjälmsäters home care, you work closely with users in their homes and provide support and care based on individual needs according to IBIC. You start the day with your colleagues with reporting and planning, and then work according to your planned route. The work includes personal care, service tasks, and medical interventions on delegation, and you continuously monitor changes in the users' health status. No day is the same, and the work requires you to adapt to the users' needs and sometimes adjust the planning in dialogue with colleagues.

The work often means that you work independently in the user's home and need to make your own decisions, while there is always support available from colleagues. The mobile phone is a central work tool and is used for keyless home care, planning, and documentation.

Your Workplace

Hjälmsäters home care has its staff base at Hjälmsätersgatan 12, located in a residential area with good bus connections and about a 15–20 minute walk from Linköping city center. The operation only provides home care, and the area is large but clearly defined. You work along fixed routes within a limited part of the area, which creates continuity for the users and good conditions for building relationships and noticing changes early.

You will be part of a safe and experienced workgroup with around 20 colleagues of mixed ages. The workgroup is described as caring and cohesive, with extensive experience in supporting new employees. Working in home care involves some degree of solitary work and requires you to be confident in your professional role, but you always have the opportunity to turn to colleagues, coordinators, and supervisors for support. The introduction is structured and comprehensive, with both digital components and several introductory sessions with an experienced mentor. The delegation process is an important part of the introduction.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone with a completed upper secondary education and experience in care, support, and assistance. It is advantageous if you are a trained certified nursing assistant or specialist certified nursing assistant with any specialization. You have good care experience and work from a salutogenic approach. Experience in home care is a plus.

You communicate clearly in Swedish, both spoken and written, have good computer skills, and can cycle. Experience with cognitive diseases or mental health issues is advantageous. As a person, you are self-sufficient, empathetic, and collaborate well with others. You can adapt how you convey knowledge and information to both users and colleagues.
