Your role

As a nursing assistant/caregiver, you participate in daily care based on a person-centered approach. You also have an important function in contributing to the facility's Sami focus by highlighting and preserving Sami culture, identity, and traditions in everyday life.

This may involve planning and conducting group activities such as shared meals, reading aloud, and conversations about memories and traditions. You collaborate with activity coordinators and management and contribute knowledge-enhancing efforts for both the elderly and employees.

You work Monday to Friday mainly during the day, but working hours may vary based on the needs of the organization. The position begins with a thorough introduction together with our activity coordinator to give you a good foundation in the role.

It is advantageous if you have:

• a background or roots in Sápmi
• specialist nursing assistant education in geriatrics or dementia

To succeed in this role, you are structured and have the ability to plan, implement, and follow up on activities independently. You are engaged and want to contribute to the development of the Sami focus in the organization, with respect for Sami culture, identity, and language. You are confident in your professional role, take initiative, and are happy to share your knowledge to strengthen both the organization and colleagues' competence.

You easily build trusting relationships and meet the elderly, relatives, and colleagues with sensitivity and empathy. Furthermore, you have a cultural awareness that permeates your working method.
