Vacant job

Storuman Municipality is a large municipality in Southern Lapland. Approximately 6,000 people live here, with just over half residing in the urban areas of Storuman/Stensele and Tärnaby/Hemavan. For those who enjoy an active life close to nature, there is a fantastic selection of activities, both in summer and winter. Imagine gliding along a well-prepared ski track in the magical winter light, a mirror-like mountain lake on a summer evening when the sun refuses to set, a bog in a forest clearing glowing gold with ripe cloudberry, or a freshly brewed cup of coffee in a sunny spot in April. All of this and more are experiences available in our immediate surroundings. Our municipality is not just a place to live, but a place where you can live a wonderful life. Storuman Municipality is a Sami administrative municipality, and we value knowledge of the Sami language and culture.

Job Responsibilities: Storuman Municipality is recruiting staff for our elderly care operations in Tärnaby, located 130 kilometers outside of Storuman and 20 kilometers from Hemavan. In home care services, we drive by car to users who need help with tasks such as receiving meals, taking medication, showering, changing incontinence products, and cleaning. Therefore, applicants for this position must have a valid Category B driver's license and a genuine interest in providing care. The work schedule includes day shifts (7:00-14:15) mixed with evening shifts (14:00-21:30), on weekdays and weekends according to the roster. The work involves heavier patient transfers, and we provide training on how to perform these tasks as ergonomically as possible.

Qualifications: Education and previous experience in similar work within elderly care and LSS (Support and Service Act for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) are meritorious. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability. You should be positive, patient, and committed to the task, with good teamwork skills and the ability to take initiative. Proficiency in Swedish is important to us. We require a language level equivalent to a passing grade in Swedish in grade nine. In case of uncertainty, we will conduct a written language test. Before the contract is signed, you must provide an extract from the criminal record register, which you can order from the Swedish Police Authority.
