We are now expanding our operations and are looking for seven new colleagues who want to become part of our community. The positions are permanent employment with an employment rate of 75-100%, where working hours are scheduled for day, evening, and weekends.

With us, you will work to meet the individual needs of our residents. Together with your colleagues, you are an important piece of the puzzle in creating a meaningful everyday life for our users. You will work to create opportunities for social interaction and participate in various social activities. The role includes various care tasks, such as assistance with mobility, personal hygiene, household chores, and medical interventions. We work based on IBIC (Individual Needs in Focus) with the individual's best interests at the forefront. Our work is also characterized by a salutogenic approach, where we focus on health and bring out the person's own abilities.

In this role, you will have the opportunity for development in your position and will be assigned as a permanent care contact for some of our residents. This means you will participate in welcome conversations where you, together with the resident, plan support measures. You are responsible for the resident's implementation plan and document in the Treserva system. The role also involves close contact with relatives and other collaborating parties.

Your workplace

Ekbackens Care Home is located in a natural setting in the southern districts with good connections to central Linköping. Nearby, you will find Ekholmen Center and beautiful walking trails for recreation. The facility consists of three pavilions with a total of 56 places. Three of the apartments are so-called doubles intended for couples who wish to live together. Adjacent to the apartments are common areas such as a kitchen and living room with an associated large balcony. This position involves working in all three pavilions.

With us, we place extra emphasis on activities for our residents. Every week we organize various offerings, and the residents participate based on their needs and interests. We have the privilege of having a leisure center that is open every weekday and offers a varied selection ranging from walks, reading aloud, seated gymnastics, baking, movie screenings to pub nights and sing-along evenings once per semester.

We are looking for you who have a completed upper secondary education, preferably as a nurse aide, and experience working in support, care, and social services. To have good prerequisites with us, it is desirable to have experience and knowledge of working with individuals within somatic care, dementia care, and palliative care. It is an advantage if you have experience with the IBIC method, a salutogenic approach, and knowledge of low-affective handling.

Work in elderly care involves much customer contact and documentation, which means we require that you can communicate orally and in writing in Swedish. You have the ability to use digital tools in your work, and we want you to have previous experience documenting in medical record systems.

As a person, you are self-reliant, take responsibility for your tasks, and drive your work forward. You also work well with other people and listen and communicate clearly. It is also important that you have empathetic abilities, meaning you can put yourself in others' perspectives and situations.
