Care Assistants and Nursing Assistants Welcome to the Newly Established Specialized Housing at Björkbacka

Do you want to be part of the beginning and shape the future of care and support? We are now looking for nursing assistants and care assistants for our newly established housing facility at Björkbacka.

Why choose Björkbacka

After the summer, Björkbacka will open its doors. It is a housing facility with 14 apartments for specialized long-term care and short-term stays. Residents in specialized care live with us permanently, while short-term stays are for individuals staying with us for a period after hospitalization or during a change in their home situation.

The facility is centrally located north of Björkbacka Park, with a bus stop right outside and only a short walk from the center of Östersund.

Working with us means the opportunity to be involved in starting up and developing a new housing facility from the ground up. You will have the chance to help shape working methods, routines, and the work environment together with your colleagues.

In the autumn of 2028, a completely new building on Solliden is planned to be completed. The plan is for the operations at Björkbacka to move into the new premises on Solliden, giving you as an employee the opportunity to be part of the startup phase of this new building.
