Kungälv Municipality is looking for a care assistant

Kungälv Municipality is seeking individuals who want to make a difference! We need professional and motivated staff to deliver high-quality welfare services. Here, commitment and professional service go hand in hand while you help influence people's daily lives and society at large. A good workplace culture and support for your personal development are important to us. Your contribution matters!

Description

Are you a self-driven care assistant who wants to contribute to the development of the Emergency Alarm service in Kungälv? Then we have the position for you!

At the Emergency Alarm service, we support users in regular housing throughout the municipality. Our goal is to create modern and value-creating workplaces to meet future challenges. We strive to offer a meaningful life for our users, where safety, self-determination, and integrity are the focus.

We are now looking for two care assistants, one for day/evening and one for night shifts.

Responsibilities

As a care assistant at the Emergency Alarm service, you will respond to urgent alarms and address various situations that may arise at the individual’s home. You will also carry out planned interventions for the users. You will meet many new people and need to be prepared for unforeseen events.

Your workplace will largely be the user's home, which means you must consider each person's privacy. You will work both independently and in a team and have access to a car to quickly travel between different parts of Kungälv. In your role, you will also have a task involving leadership in handling emergency cases.

In Kungälv Municipality, we work according to the national value framework and have a health-promoting perspective that is the foundation of person-centered care. We therefore start from a health-promoting approach, which includes utilizing the individual's resources and focusing on the healthy aspects of each user. Users should have a meaningful life, where they are involved and have influence.

We offer you a meaningful and varied job in an exciting environment where you can make a difference. Working hours are scheduled at night or day/evening with shifts on 3 out of 6 weekends.
