About Vilhelms Gård
Vilhelms Gård is a care and nursing home in Knivsta, operated by Vardaga on behalf of Knivsta Municipality. It is centrally located at Disponentgatan 3, with good commuting options for those living elsewhere. The facility has three floors, two of which are specifically for individuals with dementia. There are a total of 50 residential places. The unit also includes the Day Activity Smultronstället for individuals with dementia living in regular housing.
We are a dementia-certified facility, meaning that all staff members are trained in dementia care and communication through Vardaga's Dementia Academy. You will have a team leader who spends most of their time working closely with you in the operations. Becoming a team leader can also be a career opportunity for you as a nursing assistant.
As a nursing assistant, you are incredibly important!
Your task is to provide quality of life. With your help, our residents can maintain their lifestyle and habits. You see each person and interpret their needs. At the same time, you will learn a great deal about care, aging, and how to interact with people.
You are closest to the residents and therefore play a key role in the team alongside nurses, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists. You will also participate in care planning and write social documentation.
With your heart in the right place
With us, you will work in a strong culture driven by our vision: We make the world a little better, one person at a time. It is extremely important that you share our vision and our four values:
- Respect: Everyone has the right to a dignified life with physical, mental, and social well-being.
- Responsibility: We have employees who dare and want to, and managers who listen and lead.
- Simplicity: It is easy to influence and to be an employee or a customer with us.
- Knowledge: We reflect, learn from each other, and utilize everyone's expertise.
Together, we continuously work to ensure that our values permeate our interactions, both with each other and with all who live with us.
Your experience and knowledge
We prefer that you are a trained nursing assistant and have worked for a few years in elderly care. Good computer skills and experience with documentation are also advantageous. Proficiency in the Swedish language, both spoken and written, is a requirement, but your CV is not the most important aspect. If you share our values and possess the right qualities, we will provide you with support and opportunities to grow.
We believe that you:
- Are attracted to a varied job and enjoy meeting people in different situations.
- Are a creative person who dares to think independently and take responsibility.
- Thrive in teamwork and support your colleagues.
