We offer you

We offer you a developing and varied combined position within home care and the close care team in Söderköping. The role suits you if you are experienced in your profession and driven by working close to the patient with a holistic perspective, where you can work both independently and in a team.

The close care team is part of the initiative Elderly Health and Well-being, where the focus is on creating a more cohesive, proactive, and person-centered care for our most vulnerable elderly. The work in the team is characterized by development, innovative thinking, and close cooperation between different professions and healthcare providers.

In combination with home care, you get a daily life with great variation, where you meet patients in their home environment and are responsible for planning, implementation, and follow-up of care measures. Within home care, there are also nursing interventions within our LSS (Act on Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) activities. The work involves at times a high pace and complex situations, which places demands on prioritization skills, flexibility, and confidence in your professional role.

What is specific to the position is the switch between independent work in home care and the team-based, more coordinating work in the close care team.

We offer:

• An individually adapted introduction
• Support from experienced colleagues and accessible leadership
