The Elderly Care Area – professional core narrative

With us you have the freedom to meet that exact person – perhaps in a small conversation, in a difficult moment or with a helping hand. We do not have one fixed recipe for the good elderly life, because we celebrate diversity. But we always strive to meet each person with dignity. We insist on creating the best conditions for you to perform your work well and meaningfully.

We also have high expectations of you and your professionalism. You are allowed to use what you can do and work with what you are most passionate about. You will have a visible leader to spar with, and wonderful colleagues to share everyday life with.
