Your Responsibilities

As a care staff member with us, you are an important part of our residents’ daily lives.

Your responsibilities include:

• Personal care and hygiene.
• Documentation of care procedures and health status.
• Medical tasks as delegated by the responsible nurse.

• You will collaborate closely with colleagues, nurses, and other professionals to ensure high-quality care.

About You

We’re looking for someone who approaches people with empathy, attentiveness, and a genuine commitment. You thrive in a role where you take responsibility, collaborate with others, and are eager to contribute ideas that help develop the organization and make a real difference. You have a patient approach and a positive demeanor in all situations, even when the pace is fast or conditions change rapidly. The role also involves contact with various government agencies, which means you work in a structured and meticulous manner and are confident in documentation and follow-up. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

Smoking may occur in the workplace, so you should not have any allergies.
