The unit has a well-functioning team collaboration where nursing assistants work closely with nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and care managers. Most of the clients come directly from a hospital stay, and the purpose is to strengthen their ability to manage daily life in order to return to their regular residence. There are also individuals in a palliative phase and those waiting for a place in special accommodation. We are looking for engaged nursing assistants who want to work with us to make the stay at the Short-Term Unit safe and meaningful. You will become a part of our team and have the opportunity to make a difference for our clients!
