About this role
We are now seeking two competent colleagues as nursing assistants to complement our home care group Staden nedre. Here you'll join a wonderful work team where we help each other solve daily tasks together. We are located in the large brick building next to Österängsparken in central Östersund, a location we share with home care groups Marielund, Erikslund, Staden övre, and night home care. Licensed healthcare personnel also have their offices in the same building. This proximity to other home care groups and licensed staff enables good conditions for collaboration and collegial support.
Currently, Staden nedre has 24 nursing assistants/care workers, two coordinators, and a unit manager. We use a flexible needs-based schedule where you have the opportunity to influence how you work. The schedule period is 5 weeks. One position is 100% and the other is 75% with the possibility of full-time within the administration. Working hours are distributed across day, evening, and weekend shifts.
Your New Job
As a nursing assistant in home care, you will work with personal care and service in citizens' homes. You work to promote physical, mental, and social health for the citizens you help.

In the job, you will move between citizens by bicycle or municipal vehicles and therefore need to be able to operate both. You will work closely with other nursing assistants and care workers, as well as with the municipality's licensed personnel such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and district nurses. Another important task is to regularly document in our operational systems.
