JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The work involves care and support tasks as well as delegated health and medical care duties. You are there for our care recipients in their daily lives and help them find peace and meaning in their existence. Meals at our care and support homes are highlights, as are daily activities for the residents. In home care, every meeting in the home is important. Your tasks include personal care, meal support, transfers, and social interaction. Documentation may occur. Working hours vary between day, evening, weekend, and/or night shifts. In our homes, work is performed in the individual's own apartment, and you collaborate with colleagues in a department. When working in home care, you assist the individual in their own residence, and there is a lot of solo work.

We have home care groups and residences spread throughout the municipality. For some units, public transport is very limited, and a car and driver's license are required to reach them.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who wants to work with people. It is important that you can show care, listen, demonstrate understanding, and respect others' needs and opinions. You need to be adaptable and able to handle situations that arise, as no two days are the same. We see that you are a cheerful and positive person who can care with heart and meet people with different needs. You need to be flexible when plans change and take the initiative to keep things running smoothly.

If you have completed or are currently pursuing education in care and support, it is an advantage. In home care, it is a requirement that you hold a B driver's license, as driving is part of the job. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.

Do you want to make a difference for another person and work with something that truly matters? Then we would love for you to apply to us!
