We offer interesting and educational part-time jobs, and sometimes even longer-term temporary positions, across a range of operations in Umeå, Hörnefors, Sävar, Holmsund/Obbola, and Tavelsjö. We provide services around the clock, every day of the year, to people who need support to manage their daily lives.

We’re now looking for people who want to work part-time as needed or in longer-term temporary positions of up to 6 months. Work hours vary, and we’re looking for people who can work days, evenings, weekends, or nights.

What kind of work can you do?

In elder care, you can work at a nursing and care home, short-term care facility, or in-home care. In all of our operations, we focus on the person’s strengths and work to preserve their existing abilities. Common duties include assisting with daily tasks, activities, and personal hygiene—such as showering and using the restroom—as well as administering medication to those who need it. In home care, you’ll visit several different people in their homes throughout the day, so you’ll need to be able to ride a bike and/or drive a car.

Applicants:

Must be 18 years old.

We’re looking for people with diverse experiences and backgrounds, including those who may not have had the chance to gain much experience yet. The most important thing for us is that you have a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, are empathetic, and respect both clients and colleagues. Experience in healthcare and/or relevant education is a plus. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

To communicate with clients, their families, and colleagues; to write and review care documentation; and to be authorized to administer medication, you must have a good command of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.

If you want to work in home care, you must be able to ride a bicycle and/or have a driver’s license.
