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

The Bruksbacken nursing and assisted living facility is located in a scenic area along the Sävarån River, just a few minutes’ walk from downtown Sävar, where you’ll find shops and a pharmacy. The surroundings offer walking paths and seating areas for outdoor recreation. Bruksbacken has 51 apartments spread across five units. There is also a facility for short-term care on-site.

We are now looking for you to work as a temporary nursing staff member with us!
