Vacant job

Are you curious and flexible? Do you thrive meeting people and want a dynamic and varied job where no workday is the same? Then the role of a substitute staff member with us might be for you!

Strängnäs Municipality's staffing unit is looking for substitutes for the summer to work in our special housing facilities (elderly homes), our home care service, and the night patrol. Working as a substitute suits you if you are perceptive, driven, and enjoy interacting with people. You are calm, and your respectful and positive attitude makes it easy for you to build good relationships with residents, relatives, and colleagues. You are flexible and appreciate a busy, varied job where every day is different.

Our residents, whether living in special housing or in their own homes, need help with daily life. This can include personal care and hygiene, cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, or going out – all tailored to the residents' wishes.

The need for substitutes in our operations varies over time. As a substitute with us, you work on an as-needed basis with an hourly wage. The agreement covers agreed working hours and shifts. A new employment relationship begins each time you start a new shift.

20 positions available.

WORK RESPONSIBILITIES

If you work in one of our wonderful special housing facilities, you will assist residents on-site with the support they need on a daily basis. A large part of the work is performed individually together with the resident, but you have colleagues on-site, and together you divide the tasks required during the shift.

In home care, you work with our residents in their own homes, supporting them with the tasks they have been granted. During your shift, you walk, cycle, or drive between residents' homes. You usually make these home visits alone, but you are part of a team.

Documentation is part of the job, and your working hours vary and can include days, evenings, and weekends. We are also looking for night staff for some of our units.

To be eligible for employment, you must be able to commute to and from work during evenings and weekends without always relying on local public transport. This is particularly important if you are applying for a position at one of our facilities outside central Strängnäs, such as Åkers styckebruk and Mariefred.

Working as an hourly substitute with us gives you unique experiences from different workplaces and provides opportunities to build valuable contacts for the future. It is thanks to our substitutes that our operations can remain open year-round, day and night, weekdays and weekends.

The role involves performing delegated tasks. After a certain period of employment, it is also a requirement to obtain delegation certification so that we can continue to book you for shifts.

In addition to assistant nurses and care aides, you can also work as a helper with us. A helper makes daily life slightly easier and more pleasant for the elderly through service and simple care interventions following the implementation plan.

In spring 2026, a new law comes into force meaning that work in the home for elderly people or adults with disabilities will be subject to register checks. For this position, this means that final candidates, to be considered for employment in Strängnäs Municipality, must present extracts from both the criminal record register and the suspicion register before an employment offer can be made.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who have:

• Turned 18 years old (this is a requirement to work as a substitute with us).
• Good ability to express yourself in speech and writing in Swedish.
• Experience using IT as a support in daily life, as some documentation and scheduling is done in our systems.

To work in home care, it is also important that you can cycle.

We consider the following to be meritorious if you have/are:

• A completed upper secondary education.
• Education in care, especially meritorious if you are an assistant nurse with a protected professional title.
• Previous experience working in healthcare.
• A B driver's license and driving experience are meritorious if you wish to work in home care.

When working in home care, you need to be prepared for the possibility that pets may be present in our residents' homes.

Your personal qualities are important to us! We want you to share the municipality's values: development, respect, openness, and clarity. A positive attitude towards work and a strong interest in working with people are the foundation for you to thrive with us. You are open, perceptive, and find it easy to collaborate with others. With us, no day is the same, and you enjoy variety and can easily adapt if unexpected events occur at work.

Selection and interviews take place continuously, so submit your application today! We will contact you via the email you provide when applying for the position, so ensure you check your email regularly.

Employment type: Fixed-term employment.

We offer a dynamic workplace with a wide range of meaningful and challenging jobs with good opportunities to influence and develop. In Strängnäs Municipality, over 2,500 skilled and competent employees work together. Together, we strive to make residents' daily lives as good as possible now and in the future. In the organization, we actively work with our vision and values, characterized by respect, openness, development, and clarity.

With us, you get to make a difference, both for the individual and for society. Together, we make each other better!

We ask applicants to document their competence in a way that allows for an objective, qualitative assessment. As a municipality, we are subject to the principle of public access, meaning we are obliged to release application documents requested by the public and media.

Since public transport does not suit all our working hours, it is important that you, as an applicant, ensure you can commute to and from work without relying on public transport.

Strängnäs Municipality has made media choices for this recruitment and therefore firmly declines contact with advertising salespeople or other sellers of recruitment services. Strängnäs Municipality applies smoke-free working hours.
