Are you the one? Are you curious about what it's like to work in elderly care homes and home care in Umeå municipality? Now we offer you who do not have previous experience from working in health and care to try the job for a day to see if it is something for you!
What is a care home?
When you cannot live in your own home with the help of home care, you may be eligible for a care home.
This is where care is provided around the clock based on the individual needs of the residents. It is important that the resident is given the opportunity for self-determination, participation, individualization and good treatment. This should, among other things, lead to the resident feeling safe and having a meaningful life based on their circumstances.
What is home care?
Umeå municipality's home care service is Umeå's largest provider with the longest experience of personal care and service for users who live in their own home. In addition to offering supervision, personal care, cleaning and laundry services and, for example, grocery shopping, we also place great value on being a social and safe point. Social interaction is at least as important a key to a better quality of life as the practical services we provide and is therefore a high priority for us!
What does it mean to try it out?
You will follow a regular employee in a home care or nursing home for a day to get an insight into what the job entails. Examples of what the day might include are supervisory visits to the user's home, helping with personal hygiene, meal preparation and feedings, activation, walking, laundry and cleaning, end-of-life care and some medical interventions.
About you
We are looking for people who have no previous experience of working in health and social care, but who are curious about what the job involves. You are a confident person who is genuinely interested in working with people. As a person, you are responsive, empathetic, flexible and solution-focused. You enjoy working both independently and in teams.
If you are interested in a job where you get to learn for life and make a real difference, you can now take the chance to try a day in elderly care without committing to anything further.
If, after the trial day, you are interested in working with us, we will easily guide you through the process of getting an extra job. For those who are interested, there may also be the opportunity to get a summer job with us. Of course, there is also the opportunity to apply for our other advertised positions if you like the job in care and nursing homes!
You will agree with the organization when it is convenient to carry out the trial day.
