We are now looking for you who want to help develop our operations and move them forward!

We are Star Certified by the Swedish Dementia Centre and work based on the national guidelines for dementia care, including BPSD assessments and the Dementia Checklist.

As a Specialist Nursing Assistant in our organization, you will have the opportunity to utilize your specialist competence to create value for our customers and contribute to the development of the operations by providing ideas for improvements. You have a key role in the work group for our annual development work within the Star Certification model.

Welcome to become a part of our operations!

Your role with us

In addition to the regular assistant nurse duties, your role as a Specialist Nursing Assistant includes mentoring and guiding your colleagues in their daily work within your specialty. You are part of the work team and perform all common care and nursing tasks, but also have some administrative time in your position. You are also responsible for strengthening knowledge and quality in nursing care by providing support and supervision, both individually and in groups.

The job involves keeping up to date with evidence-based knowledge, taking initiative, and sharing it with the work group. You are offered varied work with nursing interventions, activities, and delegated tasks from nurses and rehabilitation staff.

You are responsible for BPSD registrations, SveDem registrations, and the annual planning for this within your work team. You also plan for the execution of the Dementia Checklist. You lead by example and inspire your colleagues to improved quality for the customer and professional interaction. You easily observe customers' needs, translate them into practical action, and suggest measures to reduce symptoms.

You are part of the network for Specialist Nursing Assistants in the Care Administration and collaborate with the Star Certified Instructor at Åhaga. You can supervise and observe at other workplaces if needed.

Please note that general public transport to and from Åhaga is limited during early morning and late evening hours. If you live outside the immediate area, you need to ensure that you can get to work without relying on local public transport.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for you who have a nursing assistant education with a specialization in elderly health and illness, palliative care, acute care, psychiatry, or dementia. You need to have experience working with people with dementia. Experience in mentoring and education is an advantage. We would like you to have experience with the BPSD assessment tool.

Since communication and documentation are part of your work, you need good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing. You are computer literate and handle IT-based systems.

We are looking for you who promote a good work environment and find solutions in everyday life. You motivate and inspire, and have a professional interaction with everyone you meet in your work. Furthermore, you have the ability to independently plan and structure work while respecting decisions made. We want you to be careful, engaged, and responsible in the work you perform. The position requires that you are pedagogical, have good collaboration skills, and easily create trust and good relationships.

When applicants are offered employment, we may request an extract from the police's criminal record.
