Elderly Care in the Municipality of Umeå aims to be a resource that, through proximity and collaboration, empowers and strengthens people’s ability to live independently.

The Umeå Norra Short-Term Care Center is located on Mariehemsvägen, where we focus on recovery and daily living rehabilitation. Our mission is to provide every resident with the best possible support to regain their abilities and remain in their own homes for as long as possible. Here, you’ll work in bright, modern facilities with 64 apartments spread across four floors. We offer a work environment that promotes both well-being and professional growth—a rehabilitation-focused gym, a cozy visiting room, and a lush outdoor area for relaxation and socializing.

We’re now looking for someone to work as a night shift substitute with us!
