About this role
Are you a warm and caring person who wants to contribute to creating a safe and pleasant environment for our elderly citizens? We are looking for a nursing assistant for our elderly care home, Stenkilsgården in Stora Levene, just outside Vara.
Here you will have the chance to make a difference in people's lives and help foster a sense of community and belonging.
Your Role
We are now seeking employees who are passionate about putting the residents' needs in focus and creating a meaningful everyday life for our elderly. As part of our wonderful team, you will play a key role in caring for individual abilities, health, and quality of life. Your approach will be based on the unique needs of each individual, and you will work to create a safe and supportive environment.
You will be part of a team that values collaboration and open communication and works together to create a meaningful and high-quality everyday life for our residents. The work includes documentation tasks as well as delegated health and medical care responsibilities.
The working hours are varied and include day, evening, and weekend shifts. As public transportation does not always fit our working hours, we prefer candidates who have a driving license.
Your Knowledge and Experience
We are looking for someone who is positive and solution-focused, enjoys taking initiative, and finds creative solutions to challenges. You are engaged and driven in your work to create meaning, comprehensibility, and manageability for those you encounter. You are calm, secure, and capable of planning the activities of each shift according to the needs at hand. You are responsible and able to work independently as well as in a team.
It is an advantage if you can provide a certificate from the National Board of Health and Welfare that confirms a protected professional title, or alternatively, a service certificate demonstrating ongoing permanent employment as a nursing assistant. Personal suitability is highly valued.
As Swedish is the common working language in the workplace, you need to be proficient in the language, both spoken and written, at the level required for the tasks.

You need to present a valid ID document (e.g., passport). A driving license can be shown along with a personal certificate from the Tax Agency, but this can be arranged on-site if it comes to an interview. You need to have a mobile BankID, as it is required for verification in our operational systems.
Interviews may be conducted on an ongoing basis during the application period. We may apply a probationary period.
