With us, you will have a meaningful and varied job where you contribute to security, dignity, and quality of life for our elderly residents. We warmly welcome your application!

As a casual worker in our special housing units, you will work at one of our facilities. Special housing units are for elderly people with extensive and long-term needs for 24-hour care. This may involve serious illness, cognitive impairment, or a sense of insecurity at home. Residents have their own apartments and receive support and help in daily life. Special housing units also offer a secure and meaningful daily life with social interaction and community.

As a casual worker in special housing, you work to support the elderly in their daily lives. The tasks vary depending on the operation and needs, but may include among other things:

• personal care (e.g., help with hygiene, dressing, and meals)
• social support and activation
• service tasks (e.g., serving meals, cleaning, and laundry)
• documentation according to current routines (often digital)
• medication administration under delegation from a nurse, or tasks from physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
• collaboration with colleagues, nurses, and other professions

You work day and evening shifts. Working hours are scheduled on weekdays and every other weekend. You work at different units according to the needs of the operation.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who:

• are 18 years of age or older.
• are accustomed to using digital aids/computers
• communicate independently and fluently in Swedish

You are welcome to have:

• experience working in care and social services and documentation within care.
• education in care and social services and/or a professional certificate as a nursing assistant.
• ongoing or completed upper secondary education or equivalent education that the employer considers equivalent.

As a person, you are service-oriented, calm, attentive, and accommodating in your interactions. You are empathetic and can quickly put yourself in someone else's perspective or situation. You have a genuine interest in helping others. The job suits you if you collaborate and relate to others in a sensitive and flexible manner. Last but not least, you are a communicative person who is good at listening and adapting your way of communicating.
