As a unit manager, you will have personnel responsibility for approximately 20–25 employees and work closely with other unit managers in the area. We are investing in elderly care and want to provide you with excellent conditions to succeed in your role.
We are looking for courageous and engaged leaders who want to contribute to our development journey. With us, present, communicative, and trust-based leadership is valued. You drive operations together with manager colleagues, create good conditions for employees, and contribute to a positive work environment where participation and collaboration are in focus.

Our Care and Housing Facilities

Svaleboskogen offers 121 apartments for people with dementia and somatic care. The facility also has a restaurant open to the public.
Vegahusen comprises 138 residential places in three buildings next to Slottsskogen. The facility offers both dementia and somatic care and has its own restaurant.
Northeast District
Gunnareds Care and Housing Facility is located in Angered Centrum and has 60 apartments. In spring 2027, a planned renovation of the building will begin.
