Lerum Municipality is known for its natural beauty, featuring lakes and forests. The municipality has 3,200 employees and 43,000 residents but expects significant growth in the coming years. Lerum is located just a 20-minute drive from Gothenburg and is currently undergoing a period of intense 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 Municipality" category (2025).

We are now a Super Municipality!

Work in Home Care this Summer – An Independent and Meaningful Assignment

We are now recruiting summer substitutes for home care in Lerum, Gråbo, and Floda. You will work for at least four weeks during the period of weeks 26 to 33, but you are welcome to work the entire summer. The minimum employment level will be 75%, but there is also an opportunity to work 100%.

You can also work as an hourly substitute as needed before and after your summer schedule.

Working Hours

Shifts are scheduled during the day and evening, on weekdays and weekends. The earliest a shift can start is 7:00 AM, and the latest it ends is 10:00 PM.

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

Introduction

Before your first shift, you will be introduced to your duties, routines, and the needs of the clients by a supervisor at the workplace. You will also complete online training. If medication management is part of your duties, you must complete training in medication delegation.

10 positions available.

You always base your work on the needs of the client, contributing to their well-being and providing a valuable and secure daily life. Examples of common duties include:

• providing support in daily situations, such as taking walks
• assisting with showering and toilet visits
• cleaning and laundry
• distributing medication
• healthcare tasks according to instructions and delegation from a nurse

About the Operations

In home care, you support clients in their homes according to their needs. In your work, you drive home care vehicles or cycle. You perform practical care work independently but maintain regular contact with colleagues and coordinators. Sometimes you work in pairs.

At the home care service unit, you perform only service tasks, such as shopping, cleaning, and social activities like walks.

For those with previous experience in Support and Care, there is an opportunity to work in our Night Patrol, where you perform planned care interventions and respond to safety alarms.

You provide good service, collaborate well with others, and take responsibility for moving the work forward.

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

Driver's License

A Category B driver's license is meritorious for the role, but we also welcome applicants without a license, as there are a few positions where driving is not included.
