Welcome to us

The Södermalm District Administration is one of Stockholm's 11 district administrations and covers the districts of Södermalm, Reimersholme, Långholmen, Gamla Stan, Riddarholmen, and Hammarby Sjöstad.

Södertjänst is the municipal home care provider on Södermalm. We now need to recruit positive, engaged, and skilled employees for day, evening, and night shifts this summer. Södertjänst offers varied work in a pleasant and well-organized work environment on beautiful Södermalm. We assist approximately 630 users based from our premises on Folkskolegatan and Bondegatan. Our service users are primarily elderly people, but also individuals under 65 years of age with illness or disability. Södertjänst is to perform needs-assessed interventions with high quality.

Your role

You are to provide good care and social support to the service user based on decisions from the Procurement Unit. The service user's participation and self-determination are in focus to create security and enable aging in place. As an employee of Södertjänst, you are to work to see the individual and be a support in daily life to promote the functional ability of the individual. Being helpful with social contacts, having contact with relatives, and writing social documentation are also part of your assignment as an employee at Södertjänst.

Your competence and experience

We prefer that you have a high school education within the nursing program, health and social care, or other education assessed as equivalent by the employer.

You should have a genuine interest in helping other people. Being service-oriented, having good collaboration skills, being self-reliant, flexible, and having the ability to handle occasional stress is seen as necessary for you to work with us at Södertjänst. You must be able to value differences and understand that different backgrounds, cultures, and group affiliations can affect yourself and others in different ways. We would like you to share your own knowledge and experiences and be open to learning from others. Having a positive attitude and being loyal to service users, colleagues, and the employer is important to us at Södertjänst.

It is important that you master the Swedish language in speech and writing.

If you have experience from the home care sector and knowledge and experience of documentation, this is meritorious.

We will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.
