As a nursing assistant, you make a difference in people’s daily lives every day. Through your approach, your knowledge, and your dedication, you contribute to the safety, independence, and quality of life of older adults in Umeå. Your municipal home care service is expanding, and we’re looking for more nursing assistants who want to join us in making a difference.

Your municipal home care service operates throughout the municipality of Umeå. Every day, we meet people with different needs, wishes, and life situations. Our mission is to provide safe, respectful, and compassionate care that enables older adults to live independently in their own homes.   

With us, you’ll get:

• a stable, long-term employer
• employee benefits (read more here: Our Benefits – Umeå Municipality) 
• a thorough orientation and support in your professional role
• an approachable manager and dedicated colleagues
• opportunities for professional growth
• a job where you make a difference in other people’s lives every day

We know that quality care is provided by employees who feel secure, included, and appreciated. Although we are a large organization, we work in smaller teams where you’ll get to know both your colleagues and the people you support. This provides a solid foundation for continuity, collaboration, and hands-on leadership.

Your Responsibilities

As a nursing assistant, you’ll work closely with older adults in their own homes. You’ll be assigned to a specific geographic area along with your colleagues, where—based on a schedule—you’ll start your shift by coordinating the day’s tasks.  

• Your duties will vary depending on the individual’s needs and may include:
• personal care
• assistance with meals
• housekeeping
• social interaction and support in daily life
• medication management
• documentation

You will also serve as the primary care contact for some of the people we support, which entails a special responsibility for continuity, participation, and security. 

About You

We are looking for a trained nursing assistant who treats people with respect, empathy, and care. Experience working in home care is a plus.

You are self-assured, enjoy collaborating with others, and have the ability to adapt your approach to each person’s unique needs. You contribute to a positive work environment and are committed to helping develop high-quality care.

You have a good command of the Swedish language, both spoken and written. You also have a Class B driver’s license and/or can ride a bicycle.
