Temporary Staff Needed for Health and Care – Östra Göinge Municipality

Östra Göinge Municipality, with just over 13,800 inhabitants, is centrally located in southern Sweden. Here, the open agricultural landscape meets the green forested countryside. In Östra Göinge, you will find a good quality of life with secure housing, good schools, magnificent nature, a broad cultural offering, vibrant association life, and good transport connections. Östra Göinge is one of the country's boldest and most innovative municipalities. Here, setbacks have been turned into successes, and proud Göinge residents grow!

In Östra Göinge Municipality, we have a shared Staffing Unit for the municipality's operations, where our primary task is to cover short-term absences. We are now looking for new temporary staff within Health and Care!

Here is how one of our temporary staff members expresses it:

"I started working as a temporary staff member through the staffing unit during my education. It was a good way to work a little with what I was studying. I also thought it might be difficult to get a job directly after my education without either contacts or experience. By working through the staffing unit, I get the chance to show myself, make contacts, and gain experience. Later, I can also work both in special housing and in home care. So I get the opportunity to see different operations, which is very fun and educational."

10 positions available.

Job Responsibilities

Within elder care, which includes home care and special housing, you will provide care, support, and services based on the individual's needs. This varies from nursing care to various service tasks such as shopping and cooking. Within home care, you perform the work in the customer's home, where travel between customers is done by car or bicycle. The work is primarily independent, but some tasks are performed together with colleagues. You will be based from one of our home care groups in Broby, Knislinge, or Sibbhult/Glimåkra. The night patrol is based in Broby. At our special housing facilities, located in Sibbhult, Knislinge, and Broby, you will work together with your colleagues.

Within functional support, which includes LSS (Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) operations and personal assistance, you support the user in their daily life. This may involve help with cooking, housework, personal hygiene, as well as support to create good living conditions. You will also stimulate leisure and cultural activities and support the user's participation in society according to individually set goals. The work takes place both in the user's home environment and at our LSS housing in the municipality.

As a temporary staff member with the staffing unit, you will step in as needed when regular staff is absent or when there is an extra staffing need. Regardless of which operation you work in, you are responsible for how much you want to work by making yourself available in our booking system, Medvind. You are expected to be available for at least 16 hours per month, but beyond that, it is entirely up to you!

If you are called for an interview, bring copies of grades and/or diplomas as well as references. For work within home care/Night patrol, you must also be able to show a driver's license.

Qualifications

• You are at least 18 years old.
• You have completed or are currently attending upper secondary education, preferably within care and nursing. Adult education or vocational training is considered equivalent to upper secondary education and/or relevant work experience after individual assessment.
• Experience working within elder care is meritorious.
• You are calm, patient, and have the ability to sense the customer's needs and mood.
• You are flexible, responsible, independent, and have good teamwork skills.
• You always put the customer's needs first and follow our routines and ways of working.
• You are accustomed to using a computer/phone as a tool in your work.
• You must master the Swedish language in both speech and writing.
• A B-class driver's license is required for work within home care, as well as the ability to cycle to perform daily tasks. For special housing and functional support, a B-class driver's license is an advantage but not a requirement.
• The work involves unsocial hours, i.e., beyond regular daytime, evenings/nights, and weekends. Overnight shifts occur within personal assistance.

Before an offer of employment is considered, extracts from the criminal record and suspicion register directed towards work in the home with elderly and persons with disabilities are required.
