We are now looking for a Care Assistant at Ekbacken for a permanent position. Part-time.

We offer training and several benefits.

Here is what you get with us:

• Training that makes your work easier, for example in care, hygiene, interaction with dementia patients, and ergonomics.

• A coaching and supportive manager who works together with you in everyday life.

About Ekbacken

Ekbacken is located in the new area of Måmyren, approximately 3.5 km from central Mora. The residence is situated in a beautiful natural setting on the western slope, close to the water, just north of Mora Hospital, with easy access to transport and a shopping center.

Meals are prepared in the department kitchens, which contributes to a home-cooked feeling. The house is located near forests and green areas, providing opportunities for outdoor activities in the immediate vicinity.

About the residence

Ekbacken is a bright and fresh ground-floor residence with 32 apartments, divided into four residential units. The units are focused on dementia care.

• We are a dementia residence, so it is an advantage if you have experience with dementia and have worked with BPSD as well as based on the Dementia Academy's concepts.
• You have a team leader who spends most of their time working close to you in the operations. Becoming a team leader can also be a career opportunity for you as a care assistant.
• 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.
• We have occupational therapists and physiotherapists employed who work close to the operations and hold training sessions on-site.

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 each person and interpret what they need. At the same time, you learn a lot about care, aging, and how to interact with people.

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. We use the Lifecare medical record system.

With the heart in the right place

Here 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:

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

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

Your experience and knowledge

We would like you to be a trained care assistant and have worked a few years in elder 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.
