Drop-in interviews should attract more to the care profession on Gotland

"We see that we have a pretty tough assignment ahead so we need to work in every way," says Magnus Björk, who is the unit manager for the resource team within Region Gotland's social management.

In a waiting room at the social services premises in Visby, a handful of people are waiting for their turn to be interviewed. Hopefully it can lead to some form of employment.

- I am eager to work with the elderly, I have not done that. My daughter does it and is very happy, says Carina Andreasson.

Next to her is Hassan Husseini who is studying, but who would like to have a job alongside.

- In the mornings I go to school but I was thinking of working in the afternoons within the home service or the elderly. Make some money and pay taxes, he says.

Magnus Björk hopes that the more spontaneous and relaxed drop-in effort will lead to more people being recruited.

- I hope we can get stability out in the groups and that we can have the chance to give the users the care they need. That we can fill the gaps - that we simply get more staff.
