As a holiday substitute in home care services, you will become an important part of the daily life for elderly people in Torsås Municipality. You work closely with those you support and help them live a secure and independent life with influence over their daily lives.

Your tasks vary and may include personal care, such as dressing, hygiene, and meals, practical help with cleaning, laundry, and grocery shopping, as well as social activities and community.

We work to reduce travel time and the municipality's fossil emissions. When visiting people who live close to the personnel office, within approximately 5 km, you cycle or walk using a regular bicycle or e-bike. We see daily exercise as a health factor.

As a holiday substitute, you get a significant role where you adapt interventions to the individual's needs in each individual meeting. Since the operations at special housing units run around the clock, the work includes scheduled shifts on weekdays, weekends, as well as evenings and nights. We would like those who apply to be able to work nights during the summer. After the summer, there are good opportunities to continue as an hourly substitute.

Please let us know in your application if you have a desired direction or a specific home care area.
