We are a small home care service where you play a significant role. We prioritize your well-being, and we know our customers thrive when you thrive. Working with us: Hemtjänst Ditt Liv is located in Njurunda and is run by me, Emelie Söderström. We have a background in home care and acute healthcare, and here we do all the things we missed as employees. Here you'll experience a fantastic community between staff and customers, and to break up the routine, we often organize activities and find new ways to deliver our care. When you work with us, you become part of shaping the organization. Today we are 17 people plus a few substitutes who together find the best possible ways of working, organize activities, participate in training, and discuss our work environment and conditions. We have a creative approach to care that always starts with the customer. When you work with us, we trust you. We follow rules and decisions, knowing that good care doesn't fit with overly strict routines. It must be based on the customer's needs. That's why we give you a lot of freedom—you're the expert. Qualifications: You are trained in healthcare or have other training that the employer considers equivalent. You can also be a student. We would like to see that you have experience in people-caring work. You can easily adapt to different people and circumstances with good interpersonal skills.

We Offer Good Scheduling: Continuity is very important, so you primarily work with those you are assigned to. We don't control your schedule in detail. As long as all services are completed during the same week, you and the customer decide how you organize the work. Maybe you can do the laundry on Tuesday so you have time to grab coffee on Wednesday? Do you need to leave early to take the kids to the dentist or make it to the hair appointment you've been looking forward to? That can usually be arranged. You clock in and out and control how you organize your time, as long as you take responsibility for your customer's well-being and everything gets done. Training: Each spring we complete CPR training and training in lifting and transfer techniques. Beyond that, we have ongoing training in topics such as dementia, nutrition, threats & violence, palliative care, and more. Tell us what you'd like to learn, and we'll decide together!

Postdoctoral Fellow: Psychology, Forest Management, and Biological Diversity
Department of Forest Bioeconomy and Technology We are seeking an engaged and motivated postdoctoral researcher who wishes to participate in an interdisciplinary research collaboration between the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Umeå University, and University of Massachusetts. As Sweden and the EU work toward ambitious goals for biological diversity and ecosystem restoration, understanding the human dimensions of forest management becomes increasingly important. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to research at the intersection of psychology, economics, and forestry, with the aim of supporting decision-making for more resilient and sustainable forest landscapes. The full job announcement can be found at: https://www.slu.se/om-slu/jobba-pa-slu/lediga-jobb/ About the position The EU's Nature Restoration Regulation and Sweden's environmental quality objectives place increasing demands for landscapes with greater biological diversity. In Sweden, approximately 300,000 individuals and families own about 50 percent of productive forest land, which covers roughly two-thirds of the country's area. These family forest owners will need to implement a large portion of the measures required to strengthen biological diversity in Sweden's forests. Within the framework of an interdisciplinary research project funded by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation, we are investigating three central research questions: What prominent elements in family forest owners' cognitive models describe their perceptions of and assessment strategies regarding biological diversity in their own forest holdings? Do family forest owners have the ability, opportunities, and motivation to change their behavior toward forest management practices that enhance biological diversity? Can interventions offering economic compensation promote family forest owners' transition to forest management practices that enhance biological diversity? To address these questions, we are seeking a postdoctoral researcher who wishes to work with researchers in applied economics, psychology, and forest science. The selected candidate will contribute to integrating behavioral science perspectives and knowledge of natural resource management into relevant research designs, developing research questions, applying appropriate analytical methods, and writing scientific publications. The position is a full-time appointment for two years. An important task is to develop interview protocols for studies with family forest owners, support data collection, and lead analyses of the collected data. The position is based at SLU campus in Umeå. Your background Applicants must hold a doctoral degree obtained within the past three years in a relevant field, such as applied economics, cognitive science, psychology, or a strong interdisciplinary program. If there are special circumstances, the degree may have been obtained earlier. Special circumstances include leave due to illness, parental leave, positions of trust within trade union organizations, military service, or other similar circumstances, as well as clinical service or relevant service/assignments for the field. Applicants are expected to have excellent ability to communicate in English, both orally and in writing, and a clear motivation to pursue an academic career. The ability to work independently, take own initiatives, and collaborate effectively in interdisciplinary and international research environments is of great importance. Advantageous qualifications include documented ability to integrate behavioral science perspectives in research on decision-making, experience writing scientific manuscripts, and advanced and documented knowledge in R, Stata, or equivalent analytical software for statistical modeling. Good knowledge of Swedish and experience using surveys and/or interviews as data collection methods are also advantageous. About us The Department of Forest Bioeconomy and Technology at SLU brings together broad expertise in engineering, natural sciences, and social sciences. By combining interdisciplinary perspectives, we conduct research that encompasses the entire forest value chain and examines how raw materials, materials, processes, and systems can be developed to contribute to sustainable development of forest resources and a circular bioeconomy. The department is located on campuses in both Umeå and Uppsala.

Description The serious security situation has not only led to the Swedish military defense being rebuilt at a rapid pace, but the same applies to civil defense. One aspect of rebuilding civil defense is to ensure supply preparedness. To be able to secure the supply of all kinds of goods, services, and construction contracts in connection with crisis, heightened alert, and war, well-developed cooperation between public and private actors is required. At the same time, such collaborations must be designed so that they comply with, among other things, public procurement legislation and EU state aid law. The Department of Law is now seeking a doctoral student who, as part of a project co-funded by the Swedish Competition Authority, wishes to develop a doctoral project with a focus on the overarching theme of effective civil preparedness from a broader competition perspective. Education at the research level corresponds to four years of full-time studies (240 credits). A person employed as a doctoral student also participates in undergraduate education or other departmental activities up to 20% of working time. In such cases, the doctoral student employment is extended accordingly so that four years of full-time studies in research level education is guaranteed. For more information about the content of doctoral education in Legal Science, see the general study plan. You can read more about what it means to be a doctoral student at Umeå University: Research Level Education. Eligibility Requirements and Assessment Criteria Basic eligibility to be admitted to research level education is held by those who have completed a degree at the advanced level, completed course requirements of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits at the advanced level. To meet the requirement of special eligibility for admission to research level education in Legal Science, the applicant must have completed law education and earned a law degree/juris candidate degree or equivalent. An application can be supplemented with diploma documentation after the final application deadline. Special eligibility is also held by those who can claim other completed education or special professional experience, if the education or professional experience is deemed to provide competence in the subject of research level education that is equivalent to a law degree/juris candidate degree with respect to both knowledge in the subject of research level education and general legal knowledge of relevance to the same subject. Those who before July 1, 2007 have higher education of 120 credits (equivalent to 180 credits) and meet the special eligibility requirement are also considered to have eligibility for admission to research level education. Eligible applicants are assessed based on their ability to benefit from doctoral education. The assessment of an applicant's ability to benefit from doctoral education is based partly on their general competence based on educational background, the quality of independent work and other relevant merits, and partly on the scientific quality of the research plan.
