Vacant job

Do you want a flexible job where you can help people and make a difference every day?

We are now looking for five employees for Övertorneå Municipality's new Flexipool – primarily within healthcare and social care, but also with opportunities for assignments within the child and education administration.

About the assignment

Do you want to make everyday life better for citizens in Övertorneå? Do you want the opportunity to work at several workplaces and meet many wonderful colleagues and citizens? As part of our flexipool, you are an important resource who provides support as needed at different workplaces within the municipality. This may involve working in nursing homes, social care/LSS, home care, preschools, or schools.

You will have a varied daily routine where no two days are alike – while also getting the chance to develop, build new contacts, and contribute to operations that truly make a difference in people's lives. Workplaces and working hours vary depending on the needs of the operations.

Qualifications

We would prefer that you have studied the healthcare and social care program or have other equivalent education or experience, or alternatively have completed a healthcare assistant training. Other educations involving work with people, such as social pedagogue, leisure-time pedagogue, or similar, are also meritorious.

Working in the Flexipool requires the ability to adapt to new work situations, take responsibility, and take initiative based on the professional role and within given frameworks. The work requires great flexibility, and we place great emphasis on your personal suitability as well as your ability to work with others.

However, the most important thing is that you want to contribute to a meaningful existence for the people our operations serve.

To thrive in the job, you need to have a flexible, curious, and open attitude towards working in an operation where needs may vary from day to day.

You must be able to speak and write in Swedish, which is our working language, to perform digital documentation, among other tasks. Experience working with digital tools is therefore an advantage.

A category B driver's license is a requirement for employment.

You must be at least 18 years old.

The employment

The positions are located at the HR unit and are administered by the staffing function. You will receive an introduction.

The position is a permanent full-time position. Day/evening/weekend shifts. In addition to the monthly salary, a salary supplement will be added. A probationary period may apply.
