WORK RESPONSIBILITIES

Do you want a flexible job where you make a difference every day? We are now looking for care assistants for our staffing pool within disability services!

As a care assistant in our staffing pool, you will have the opportunity to work at several different workplaces, such as group homes, supported housing, short-term care, and personal assistance. The work is varied and developmental – no two days are alike!

In this role, you need to be confident in your professional competence and quickly adapt to new work environments. You work independently, take initiative, and adapt your working methods based on the needs of the care recipients. A key part of the job is collaborating with different work groups, where you contribute to a good work climate and a functional daily life. You have a professional attitude and treat both care recipients and colleagues with humility, patience, and flexibility. The work requires that you can plan, prioritize, and thrive in a daily life where conditions sometimes change with short notice.

With us, you choose your own degree of employment and plan when you want to work. You register your availability in TimeCare Pool and are booked based on the needs of the operations. Work shifts may sometimes be assigned with short notice, so it is important that you are flexible and comfortable with rapid changes. On-call duties may occur at some workplaces.

We offer a flexible job where you have the opportunity to influence your working hours, while also getting good opportunities to develop within healthcare and social care. With us, you get meaningful work where you contribute every day to making a difference in people's lives.
