Care Assistant with a Focus on Dementia

Description We are currently seeking three dedicated staff members for Brattska Gården's nursing home! Here, you will have the opportunity to work in a meaningful and developmental environment where we collectively create the conditions for our residents to achieve an improved quality of life. Workplace: Brattska Gården is located in Vålberg and consists of five departments. The nursing home primarily caters to individuals with dementia. Brattska Gården has a total of 48 places distributed among the departments Pilen, Almen, Syrenen, Linden, and Kastanjen. We actively work to create an environment that promotes both safety and good care. The residents are mainly elderly individuals with dementia, but there is also a mix of different diagnoses and needs. The facility is aimed at elderly individuals with dementia, based on decisions according to the Social Services Act (SoL). We actively strive to create an environment that fosters both safety and quality care. Working Hours: Day and evening shifts on weekdays and every other weekend. We need to staff our pool, which means your shifts will be assigned to departments based on the needs within the facility. We work together in a team and have staff on-site around the clock, actively creating a supportive and learning work environment. Job Responsibilities We work to create a safe and meaningful daily life for individuals with dementia. Together with the care recipient, we design individual interventions that enhance independence and participation. The work involves various tasks, such as personal care, cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and encouraging social interaction and activities. You will actively work with case management, implementation plans, and social documentation. We utilize quality registers BPSD and Senior Alert, and document our activities in the operational system Treserva. The role also involves collaboration with other professionals such as nurses, rehabilitation staff, and cognitive teams to provide comprehensive support to the care recipients. This means that you will perform delegated tasks, including medication management. Based on the assignment, you should have a genuine interest in people, a strong sense of good care and individual integrity, as well as a positive attitude. You see opportunities rather than obstacles, and we welcome new thoughts and ideas for our operations! Qualifications We are looking for someone who is a trained nursing assistant or has equivalent education, and it is advantageous if you have experience working with elderly people and those with dementia diagnoses. Language is used as a working tool in contact with care recipients as well as in documentation and record-keeping. A prerequisite for the job is therefore that you have a good command of the Swedish language, both spoken and written, as well as good computer skills. Experience with Treserva and BPSD, which we work with, is also an advantage. We work in teams and are seeking a colleague with good collaboration skills who can resolve various situations constructively. We want you to be self-driven and take responsibility for your tasks while being attentive to others' needs and able to give and receive feedback. Your personal maturity helps you assess different situations, and your flexibility makes you open to changes, contributing to continuous improvements in your work.
