About the job
Would you like to be part of creating a safe and meaningful everyday life for others? As a home care assistant, you play an important role in providing support, care, and good treatment based on each individual's needs and wishes. Through your commitment and competence, you contribute to enabling people to live as independently, with dignity, and as fulfilling a life as possible.
The work is varied and involves providing both practical and social support as well as care. Depending on the activity and the individual's needs, your tasks may include personal care, meal assistance, activities, services, and health and medical care tasks following delegation or instruction from licensed personnel. You work in a person-centered manner and in close collaboration with colleagues, relatives, and other professionals to create high-quality care.
The role also includes planning, implementing, following up, and documenting interventions. Documentation is an important part of the work and is done digitally. You also contribute to the development of the operation through a professional approach, good cooperation, and a constant focus on quality.
With us, you get meaningful work where you can use both your professional skills and your ability to create trusting relationships. Each day offers new encounters, new challenges, and the opportunity to make a real difference for the people we serve.
