Borgholm municipality in Sweden is offering free accommodation to summer substitute workers in care professions this year to facilitate recruitment and create continuity in care. The initiative aims to address geographical challenges, as the area is on an island with commuting distances. According to Katarina Nilsson Ederam, operations manager in the social administration in Borgholm, there have been applicants from Stockholm and northern Sweden in previous years who could not stay for the entire summer, leading to the idea of attracting workers with housing.
The offer applies to a maximum of 20 summer substitute workers. Nilsson Ederam stated that this creates security for users by reducing frequent staff changes.
