We are now seeking an Operations Director for Vilobacken, a family-oriented senior living community with a dementia focus. We work according to our core values: curious, reliable, and courageous.

About Us
Vilobacken is a small and personal senior living community where relationships are given space to flourish. Vilobacken has 44 places (all dementia care) of which 7 are short-term places. The operation is Star-Marked according to Swedish Dementia Center's training model and work has begun to become Kavat Vård's Center for Dementia.
