About the Position

Västängsgården is a modern residence aimed at individuals with dementia diagnoses. Through good care and a positive approach, we aim to ensure that care recipients feel secure and experience quality of life.

We always start from the question 'What is important to you?' when we support our care recipients – for us, each individual is unique, and we deliver care with heart and consideration.

As a care assistant, you will take on the role of contact person, and there is an opportunity for you to have a representative role, which means you will have special responsibility for an area that we will mutually agree upon based on your knowledge and interests.

All our new employees receive introductory training at our competence center and a practical introduction at the workplace together with a colleague, based on individual needs in dialogue with the manager.

The positions are permanent employment contracts between 75-100%, with working hours scheduled according to a roster. Start date as soon as possible or as agreed.
