Care Assistant specializing in Dementia

Description We are now seeking two dedicated staff members for the Gunnern care home! With us, you will have the opportunity to work in a meaningful and developing environment where we collectively create conditions for our residents to achieve an improved quality of life. Workplace: Gunnern care home is located in Rud and has four departments spread across four floors. The facility caters to elderly individuals with dementia, based on decisions according to the Social Services Act, SoL. We actively work to create an environment that promotes both safety and quality care. Working hours: Day and evening shifts during weekdays and every other weekend. We operate with resource shifts, which means that some of your shifts may be assigned to another department/residence within the municipality. We work together as a team and have staff on-site around the clock, where we actively strive to create 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 strengthen 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 use 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 care recipients. This means that you will perform delegated tasks, including medication management. Based on the assignment, you have a genuine interest in people, a strong sense of quality care and individual integrity, as well as a positive attitude. You see opportunities rather than obstacles, and we welcome your 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 an advantage if you have experience working with elderly individuals 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 looking for 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 read different situations, and your flexibility makes you open to changes, contributing to continuous improvements in the work.
