As an hourly substitute in support, care and welfare services, you will have meaningful work where you make a difference for various individuals.
Your Work Tasks
As an hourly substitute in support, care and welfare services, you will work in elderly care, disability services (LSS), or social psychiatry, covering temporary absences. The work involves providing support in daily life based on individual needs and can include personal care, practical help at home, and social and motivational support. You will meet people in different life situations and contribute to their sense of security, structure, and functioning daily life.
You will receive an introduction through digital training and by working alongside experienced colleagues, so you feel confident in your role. In certain operations, medication delegation may also occur.
Your Workplace
As an hourly substitute, you can work in over 100 different operations in the municipality.
In elderly care, you support older people in their daily lives and help strengthen their own abilities. Work takes place either in care and residential facilities or within home care services and is adapted to individual needs. In residential settings, you work with colleagues and encounter various specializations such as dementia care, somatic care, or short-term care. Within home care services, you work more independently and visit several people during the same work shift.
In disability services (LSS), you work with children and adults who have intellectual disabilities, autism, acquired brain injuries, or other significant functional limitations. Work takes place in, for example, group homes, service apartments, short-term care facilities, or personal assistance roles and is based on clear communication and individualized working methods, where you often work closely with colleagues in structured environments.
In social psychiatry, you support people with mental health issues, neuropsychiatric difficulties, or social vulnerability. The work involves motivating, creating structure, and strengthening independence. You will meet people with varying needs, and situations may arise that require safe and stable interactions.
About You
We view education as an advantage. It is positive if you have ongoing upper secondary studies or a passing grade in SFI C. Education in care and welfare, children and recreation, or behavioral fields is considered particularly advantageous, as is prior experience from work or internships in care and welfare.
For work in social psychiatry and HVB-homes, a complete care and welfare education or at least 60 higher education credits in social work or health and medical care is required, alternatively another complete upper secondary education combined with at least one year's experience in care and welfare.
You must be at least 18 years old and have the ability/willingness to perform personal care. The work requires good ability to communicate orally and in writing in Swedish as well as good computer skills. Depending on the operation, it may be necessary to be able to cycle, and in some cases a driver's license or access to a car is an advantage. A criminal record certificate is required and a language test may be part of the selection process.
We are looking for someone who enjoys meeting people and who has a respectful and attentive manner. You take responsibility in your work and have the ability to work independently while also collaborating well with others. You have good empathetic ability and can put yourself in other people's situations and understand their needs.
