Temporary Staff in Support and Care – Lerum Municipality

Lerum Municipality is known for its natural beauty with lakes and forests. The municipality has 3,200 employees and 43,000 inhabitants but expects significant growth in the coming years. Lerum is located only 20 minutes from Gothenburg and is currently facing a period of intensive development with many exciting projects underway, ranging from schools to housing. The municipality works to ensure good service, high welfare, and a thriving business climate.

Furthermore, Dagens Samhälle has recently named Lerum the winner in the "Large City Municipality" category (2025) – an award based on a comprehensive comparison of 290 Swedish municipalities regarding schools, healthcare and social care, economy, culture and leisure, attractiveness, business life, and future factors such as digitalization and civil preparedness. We are now a Super Municipality!

Welcome to work as a temporary staff member in Support and Care this summer!

We are looking for experienced temporary staff for our operations in Support and Care during June, July, and August. There is also an opportunity to take shifts before and after the summer.

How it works:

You will be employed intermittently and receive ongoing requests for shifts, sometimes with short notice (same day) and sometimes with longer lead time. You specify your own availability in our digital booking system, where you can also express interest in specific shifts.

Working Hours

Shifts are scheduled during the day and evening on weekdays and weekends. The earliest a shift can start is 6:30 AM, and the latest it ends is 10:30 PM. On some operations within functional support, sleeping on-call duties are included, meaning you sleep at the workplace.

For those with previous work experience in support and care, there is an opportunity to work awake night shifts.

Introduction

Before your first shift, you will be introduced by a supervisor at the workplace, where you will learn the tasks, routines, and the needs of the users. You will also complete web-based training. If medication handling is included in the tasks, you must complete training in medication delegation.

20 positions available.

Tasks

You always base your work on what the user needs and contribute to their well-being, providing a valuable and secure daily life. Examples of common tasks include:

• Providing support in daily situations, such as taking walks.
• Assisting with showering and toilet visits.
• Cleaning and laundry.
• Distributing medication (primarily relevant in home care and functional support).
• Healthcare tasks according to instructions and delegation from a nurse.
• Documentation in administrative systems.

Elderly Housing and Short-term Housing

Elderly housing and short-term housing have somatic and dementia wards. Here, you work primarily in a group, although independent work also occurs. Your task is to help care recipients with practical care work based on their needs, as well as organizing activities such as excursions and board games.

Home Care and Service Unit

In home care, you support care recipients according to their needs at home. You perform practical care work independently but have regular contact with colleagues and coordinators. Sometimes you work in pairs. On the home care service unit, you perform only service tasks, such as shopping, cleaning, and social activities like walks.

Functional Support

Functional support includes LSS operations, psychiatric housing, and personal assistance. You work with people who have intellectual, physical, neuropsychiatric, or mental functional variations. The work is performed either in the care recipient's home or at housing facilities. In addition to practical care work, you provide pedagogical support in daily life, personal care, and create an active daily life based on the individual's needs and conditions.

Qualifications

We are looking for you with previous experience in healthcare and social care. You enjoy meeting people, make contact easily, and have a genuine interest in every individual you meet. With your empathetic ability and respect for privacy, you contribute to a secure and meaningful daily life for our care recipients. You provide good service, collaborate well with others, and take responsibility for moving the work forward.

We place great importance on personal suitability. Education in healthcare and social care is advantageous. The work involves documentation and communication with care recipients, colleagues, and other partners, so you need to feel confident in the Swedish language, both spoken and written.

Driver's License

In home care and some parts of functional support, you need to have a B driver's license, and in some cases, be able to drive a car with manual transmission.

Important to Know

Before employment can be offered, you must show a valid extract from the Police Authority's criminal record. You order this yourself via the police's website. When you submit your application, you will receive a link and instructions in the auto-reply.

• Employment Type: Fixed-term employment.
• Duration: 3-6 months.
