Vacant job

We are looking for an engaged employee for our day activity center for people with dementia. The position combines practical care work with coordinating responsibilities in the daily work of a small team.

At the same time, you have coordinating responsibilities in the daily work, where you help create structure, plan the day together with colleagues, and ensure that the activity runs smoothly during your shift.
