Vacant job

We are now looking for a full-time Care Assistant at Furan in Täby. We offer training and several benefits.

Here is what you get with us:

• Training that makes your work easier, such as care hygiene, dementia care and interaction, and ergonomics.

• A benefits portal with discounts and offers. For example, you can buy cinema tickets and public transport trips at good prices.

• A coaching and supportive manager who works together with you in your daily routine.

• Clear working methods and routines that simplify your job.

• Career and development opportunities. For example, you can become a group leader with personnel responsibility or take on a specific subject responsibility such as dementia coordinator or hygiene officer.

About Furan

Furan is a homelike residence for elderly people with dementia. We offer individually adapted care. There are 32 residents distributed across four units.

• We are a dementia-certified residence, which means that everyone who works here is trained in dementia and care interaction through Vardaga's Dementia Academy.

• We apply a needs-based preference schedule. This means that as an employee, you have the opportunity to influence your own working hours based on needs and preferences. We create schedules for 10 weeks at a time.

• We collaborate with the company Ung Omsorg. This means that a team of young people aged 14–18 visits us on weekends and holidays. Ung Omsorg organizes various activities to add extra value to the lives of our residents.

• You have a group leader who spends most of their time working closely with you in the operations. Becoming a group leader can also be a career opportunity for you as a Care Assistant.

• Here we work with animals in care and have regular visits from therapy dogs.

• We work constantly to come up with new, exciting activities for our residents. For example, we have introduced VR technology that makes it possible to experience different travels, adventures, or games via VR goggles. Read more about Vardaga's VR initiative here: Around the World in 40 Minutes.

As a Care Assistant, you are incredibly important!

Your task is to provide quality of life. With your help, our residents can maintain their lifestyle and habits. You see every person and interpret their needs. At the same time, you learn a lot about nursing, aging, and how to interact with people.

"It is primarily about meetings with people, being able to adapt and read what people need. You get colleagues and learn a lot about cooperation! Many funny things, activities, and excursions often happen. It is a job with lots of laughter." – Jirapinya Muangsiri

You are closest to the resident and thus have a key role in the team with the nurse, occupational therapist, and physiotherapist. You also participate in care planning and write social documentation.

With the heart in the right place

With us, you get to work in a strong culture driven by our vision: We make the world a little better, one person at a time. It is extremely important that you share our vision and our four values:

Respect: Here, everyone has the right to a dignified life with physical, mental, and social well-being.

Responsibility: Here we have employees who dare and want to, and managers who listen and lead.

Simplicity: Here it is easy to influence and to be an employee or customer.

Knowledge: Here we reflect, learn from each other, and utilize everyone's competence.

Together, we continuously work to ensure that our values permeate our interactions, both with each other and with everyone who lives with us.

"Here there are good and clear values and goals that have guided me all the way to be able to perform my work in the best possible way." – Raquel Castaneda

Your experience and knowledge

We would like you to be a trained Care Assistant and have worked a few years in elderly care. Good computer skills and experience with documentation are also meritorious. Good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written, is a requirement, but otherwise, your CV is not the most important thing. If you share our values and have the right qualities, we will give you support and the opportunity to grow.

We believe that you:

• Are attracted by varied work and enjoy meeting people in different situations.
• Are a creative person who dares to think for yourself and take responsibility.
