Are you one of our care stars this summer?

We are looking for several summer substitutes who are interested in working in elderly care with a focus on ordinary housing (home care). The summer job period is week 26-33, and there is an opportunity to start as a substitute already now.

NOTE! If you work 8 weeks with us during the summer, a bonus of 6000 SEK will be paid! If you also worked with us last summer, an additional 1000 SEK will be paid!

Are you looking for a meaningful and appreciated summer job with good opportunities to continue working with us even after the summer? Are you genuinely interested in helping other people?

Then you might be one of the people we are looking for!

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We have nine different home care areas in Mariestad municipality, two of which include rural areas. Working within home care means that you will support individuals with various needs in their own apartments, townhouses, and villas.

The tasks are varied and include personal care such as assisting with toilet and shower situations, dressing and undressing, distributing medications, helping with meals, as well as service tasks such as laundry, simple cooking, and social interaction.

Much of the work is performed independently while you have colleagues who are out on their visits and are just a phone call away. There is also so-called double staffing where you visit individuals together and assist each other, for example during lifting situations.

This job is for you who are outgoing and enjoy a mobile job in sometimes high tempo. You will meet many different people during a work shift and have contact with colleagues, unit managers, nurses, and relatives. Support in the work is also provided by planners who arrange your visits for the day.

We have both bicycle and car districts depending on which home care area you work in. The working hours are mixed, and you will work both day shifts, evening shifts, and weekend shifts. Some positions are also available specifically for night work.

QUALIFICATIONS

We primarily seek those who have completed or are currently pursuing care education, childcare education, or other equivalent education. Alternatively, we are looking for those with experience working with people in need of support or experience from service professions.

You should be engaged and curious in your work and have a high sense of responsibility. Furthermore, you should be attentive to the residents' needs and have a genuine interest in helping others. You must master the Swedish language in both spoken and written form to communicate with users and to document events and other information in your work.

It is very important that you can collaborate well with other colleagues and contribute with flexibility and joy in your work.

It is advantageous if you have a driver's license, as well as experience and knowledge of alternative communication methods. Some digital skills are also required as much of the work - both your work schedule and documentation - is handled via apps.

We also expect you to be able to work irregular hours, which means working both daytime, evenings, and weekends.

Due to the requirements of the Swedish Work Environment Authority for care work, you must be at least 18 years old.

About the application

When you submit your application, we would like to have a CV that outlines your previous qualifications. You can exclude the personal letter; instead, you will answer some selection questions. We place great importance on personal qualities and good references. When you submit your application, you can already order the following extract from the criminal record to expedite the recruitment process, "Work in the home with the elderly and people with disabilities"

What can we offer you?

For you who are a new substitute, you will undergo guided introductory and training parts to feel secure in your work. As a summer worker with us, you will also have access to free outdoor swimming at Ekuddens outdoor pools. You will also get nice colleagues, develop your human intelligence, and gain good qualifications for the future!

Warm welcome with your application!
