About the Social Care Administration and Home Care

Within the Social Care Administration, approximately 1,200 dedicated employees work to provide support and care to those in need in our municipality. The work takes place within elderly care, home care, disability services, social psychiatry, and individual and family care.

In Ystad Municipality, there are eight dedicated home care teams that work every day to create security, participation, and a high quality of life for our users. Our night patrol is responsible for care interventions during all night hours and operates throughout the municipality.

In the nature-rich areas of Svarte and Löderup, our home care teams work closely with users with both cognitive illnesses and needs for somatic care. Here you have the opportunity to combine independent work with proximity to both people and our beautiful countryside. As the work takes place in rural areas, a B-driving license is required.

In central Ystad, there are five home care teams where the work is largely performed by bicycle – a convenient and sustainable way of working that creates proximity to both colleagues and users. The Bellahöiden home care team has special competence in cognitive illnesses, while the teams in Östra Förstaden, Centrum, Hälsobacken, and Briggen primarily work with somatic care.

With us, you become part of a varied and developmental work environment where collaboration, engagement, and care are in focus – and where you have the opportunity every day to make a real difference in people's everyday lives.
