Care Assistant specializing in Dementia

**Description** We are now seeking 2 dedicated staff members for Granberga's 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 enhanced quality of life. **Workplace:** Granberga is centrally located in Väse, approximately 20 minutes east of Karlstad. Here, you have easy access to public transport and restaurants. We have three departments for our 25 residents: Eken, Linden, and Rönnen. Behind the care home, there is a larger forest area for calming walks. We actively work to create an environment that promotes both safety and good care. The residents primarily consist of elderly individuals with dementia, but there is also a mix of different diagnoses and needs. The care home is aimed at elderly individuals with dementia under 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 during weekdays and every other weekend. We work together as a team and have staff on-site around the clock, where we actively promote a supportive and learning work environment. **Job Responsibilities** We work to create a safe and meaningful everyday 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 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 have a genuine interest in people, a strong sense of good care, respect for individual integrity, and 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 advantageous 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, and possess good computer skills. Experience with Treserva and BPSD, which we work with, is also a plus. 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. **Additional Information** You can find more about what it’s like to work with us at Karlstad Municipality and our benefits at https://karlstad.se/jobba-hos-oss.
