We are seeking substitutes for our workplaces located in the areas of Matfors, Stöde, Liden, Indal, Kovland, and Njurunda.

How you contribute in the role of hourly substitute within care and social services

As a substitute, you provide support in people's daily lives and contribute to security, independence, and meaningfulness based on their individual needs. The care work varies between operations and can range from extensive care to support and guidance that strengthens the individual's independence.

Common tasks include:

• Personal care
• Preparing, serving, and assisting with meals
• Cleaning and laundry
• Medication administration
• Documentation of interventions
• Promoting the individual's independence through support and guidance
• Social interaction and activation

Working hours are scheduled during days, evenings, and weekends, and within some operations, awake nights or 24-hour shifts with sleeping on-call.

Your competence and experience

This is what you need to proceed in the recruitment process:

• You need to be able to get to the workplace on your own. You need a B-driving license and access to a car if you do not live in the area, as public transport is lacking on some days and times.
• Good Swedish skills and education corresponding to SFI D (Swedish for Immigrants, Course D) is a requirement as the work involves close dialogue and cooperation with both colleagues and care recipients.
• You must be 18 years old when you start the position to meet occupational health and patient safety requirements.
• Basic digital skills are required as the work involves documenting and using digital aids.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability. We are looking for you who are interested in working with people and find it easy to cooperate with colleagues. You are engaged and responsive in the meeting with the individual and feel that your job is significant. You are flexible and calm even in changed circumstances or stressful situations. Since solo work may also occur, it is also important that you can work independently.

This increases your chances of employment:

Education or experience within care and social services, psychiatry, or pedagogy is meritorious, as is other equivalent competence. Within home help services, a driver's license is required even for those who live in the area. You should also be comfortable with administering medication. Being flexible with working hours and having high availability for work is desirable.
