We want to support your success at work and offer the opportunity to work in a way that also supports your everyday life. What we expect from you We expect good Finnish skills, a client-oriented approach, initiative and the ability to work independently in clients’ homes. We value good cooperation and interaction skills and a willingness to be part of a community-oriented work environment. A valid LOVe medication permit and strong medication-care skills are considered an advantage. Previous work with older people and knowledge of OMNI360 and RAI are also considered advantages.
