Registered Nurse, substitute, older people's services, rehabilitative assessment at home

As a registered nurse, you will work in a rehabilitative assessment period in the client’s home environment. The period is a planned, goal-oriented arrangement of limited duration, initiated following a service counsellor’s assessment of service needs, a planned discharge from hospital, or concern expressed by the client or their close ones. The work is carried out as enhanced and intensive home care, with the main focus on supporting the client’s functional ability and independent performance through measures that promote rehabilitation. The aim is for the client to use their own resources and live in their own home as independently and safely as possible. During and at the end of the period, you will participate in a multidisciplinary assessment together with the client and their close ones. Based on the assessment, the individual services needed to support and ensure living at home are determined. RAI assessment is a central part of the assessment period and the granting of services. The nurse’s duties also substantially include tasks related to the client’s medication and treatment of illnesses. The work is independent, diverse and varied, but you will not work alone. The work is performed in two shifts. What we offer you We offer meaningful and responsible work where you can genuinely influence clients’ everyday lives and ability to manage at home.
