You have good IT skills, meaning you are comfortable using a computer/tablet to document, report, and read email as required by the operations.

You master the Swedish language so that you can communicate both orally and in writing with clients, colleagues, and relatives as required by the operations.

• Confidence in your professional role and working based on the fundamental principle of the equal value of all people.
• Being structured and responsible, with the ability to plan independently, take initiative, and identify improvements.
• Being receptive and flexible, with the client's needs at the center.
