About this role
Do you want to contribute to meaningful days for the elderly – with a focus on activities, community, and care? We are now seeking a care assistant with activation responsibilities for Norrgården elderly care home in Vetlanda.
In elderly care within Vetlanda Municipality, we always work for Esther's best, aiming to strengthen each person's security and independence.
Norrgården is located in the heart of Vetlanda, with the forest around the corner and the Kvarnen preschool as our nearest neighbor. Here, we have the departments Solgläntan and Dalen, which cater to individuals with dementia and special needs. A total of 18 people live with us – along with Asta, our house cat, who enjoys roaming around and fostering community.
Norrgården is a star-rated workplace, a quality mark that demonstrates our focus on person-centered care. We actively work to develop this method, and you will be part of a dedicated and caring staff group with a warm collaboration.
The position is a combined role where you will work partially with activation and partially with care tasks, with the care component primarily included in weekend shifts. As an activation leader, you will plan and implement activities that create joy, structure, and social contexts in daily life – both individually and in groups.
Your responsibilities will include:
• Planning and leading activities based on the interests and needs of the elderly
• Creating variety, participation, and community through both group and individual activities
• Collaborating with colleagues, activation leaders in the municipality, and local stakeholders
• Contributing to daily care work with a focus on security, continuity, and person-centered care
We are looking for someone who is confident, caring, and attentive, treating each individual with respect and warmth. You are creative in your planning, easily inspire others, and thrive in a role where you can lead, motivate, and create valuable moments in daily life. You take responsibility in care work and can work independently while positively contributing to collaboration with colleagues.
The position is a permanent employment at 80 percent and involves work during the day, in the evening, and on weekends.
We want our employees to feel good, both at work and outside of it. Therefore, you will have access to wellness benefits, free swimming, and discounts on massages. Read more about our benefits: https://vetlanda.se/formaner (https://vetlanda.se/formaner)
We believe in a workplace where differences are a strength and where we always meet each other with joy and respect. There is room for courage here – to dare to think differently, try new things, and develop. By collaborating and supporting each other, we create community and pride. Together, we are Vetlanda Municipality.
