Vacant job

About the role

Would you like to help create a safe and meaningful everyday life for others? As a care assistant (undersköterska), you play a vital role in providing support, care, and respectful treatment based on each individual's needs and wishes. Through your commitment and competence, you contribute to people living as independent, dignified, and fulfilling lives as possible.

The work is varied and involves providing both practical and social support as well as nursing care. Depending on the unit and the individual's needs, tasks may include personal care, support during meals, activities, service tasks, and health and medical care duties after delegation or instruction from licensed personnel. You work in a person-centered manner and in close collaboration with colleagues, relatives, and other professional groups to create high-quality care.

The role also includes planning, implementing, following up, and documenting interventions. Documentation is an important part of the work and is done digitally. You also contribute to the development of the unit through a professional attitude, good cooperation, and a constant focus on quality.

With us, you will find meaningful work where you can use both your professional competence and your ability to build trusting relationships. Every day offers new meetings, new challenges, and the opportunity to make a real difference for the people we serve.
