About this role
Job Responsibilities
Do you want to help people you meet live a dignified life and experience well-being? Would you like a varied role where you contribute to improving care work quality? We are now seeking new nursing assistants for the Gamlestan/Utby and Kviberg units.
We are based in shared facilities at Artillerigatan 25.
As a home care nursing assistant, you work closely with people and provide support in their daily lives. You perform care work in individuals' own homes. In your role, you motivate and stimulate elderly individuals based on their individual circumstances, needs, and wishes.
Services are granted through social assistance and can vary from personal care, meal support, social activity assistance, certain healthcare tasks, and collaboration with relatives and other healthcare professionals.
Job tasks include being a primary care contact, planning, implementing, documenting, and following up on care work for individuals needing support and help. This also involves performing healthcare and rehabilitation interventions prescribed by nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists. All social documentation is done digitally. If you have not previously used the systems used by the City of Gothenburg, you will receive training. Those we support need assistance during day, evening, and weekend hours. Your working hours will therefore be scheduled.
You will engage with many people's life situations, which can be both interesting and challenging. As a home care nursing assistant, you work independently but also collaboratively with others in shared care work. We operate according to the Social Services Act and the national core values, focusing on individual needs.
Qualifications
Requirements
• Certified nursing assistant with proof of protected professional title from the National Board of Health and Welfare
• Comfortable using an electric bicycle as a work vehicle
• Fluent in Swedish, both spoken and written, as documentation and communication are in Swedish

• Work experience in mental health or dementia care
• Work experience in healthcare and social services

Personal Characteristics
As a home care nursing assistant, you are pleasant and helpful to others, even in stressful situations. Home care work involves largely independent work and personal responsibility, but you also work collaboratively with colleagues. You listen, show interest, and respect those you work with.
In your role, you adapt your communication style to the recipient and encourage dialogue, participation, and engagement. You communicate information clearly, both verbally and in writing. Tasks vary based on care recipients' needs, so it's important that you can adapt your approach when circumstances change.
Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis. Warmly welcome to apply!
