Your Responsibilities

We’re looking for someone who, through a warm and professional approach, can assist people with safety alarms in their homes with their daily lives. With us, you’ll respond to alarms, work in people’s homes, and assist individuals who have been approved for a safety alarm—where no two days are alike. Therefore, you need to feel confident interacting with many different people in a variety of situations.

Work hours are scheduled during the day, in the evening, and every other weekend.

You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues, nurses, and other professionals to ensure high-quality care. Mobility aids are always used when moving or lifting patients.

You have a strong ability to collaborate with colleagues and other professionals. Your interactions with residents require strong competence based on personal suitability, maturity, and empathy. You demonstrate a strong commitment to both the individual and the organization in all your interactions and actions. We therefore place great emphasis on personal suitability.
