The Workplace
The Social Services Department in Karlsborg is responsible for elderly care, care for individuals with disabilities, municipal health care, and individual and family care. The department has approximately 250 employees. We offer a varied and meaningful job with freedom under responsibility.
Home care meets the needs for support in daily life for clients who, due to age, illness, or disability, have difficulty managing everyday tasks at home independently. Within home care, we are about 40 employees divided into different teams primarily working based on the various geographical areas of the municipality. We all operate from Haganäset Elderly Home. We are currently seeking a nursing assistant for care services in home care.
In Karlsborg Municipality, we operate based on staffing economics and full-time as the norm, which means that resource shifts to other units may occur.
Job Responsibilities
Every day, we make life work for people who need help; individuals who, for various reasons, require care, encouragement, and support. We help clients feel secure, provide support to relatives, and make everyday life manageable.
We work from a rehabilitative approach with the individual at the center, where good treatment and respect for people's self-determination are our core values. It is important that you are understanding, attentive, and maintain a professional demeanor.
You are skilled at establishing contact, building relationships, and encouraging and supporting individuals. This is a varied job where you need to be flexible based on the client's needs for support with service, personal care, and health care interventions.
Job responsibilities include IT-based documentation and administration. The current position involves day, evening, and weekend shifts.
Qualifications
We are looking for someone who is a trained nursing assistant, preferably with experience. You are expected to work both independently and collaboratively with others. Since communication and documentation are important tools in the job, you need to have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.
We document in Viva and use phones as a work tool, so it is important that you are computer literate or interested in learning this.
We are seeking a colleague who wants to contribute to a good and safe work environment, focusing on the mission to provide good and safe care based on the individual's needs and wishes.
A driver's license is a requirement for the position.
