Work tasks
We help older residents with practical jobs. Examples:
- hang curtains
- change light bulbs
- replace smoke alarm batteries
- grit and clear paths to mailboxes
- take items for recycling and reuse
Assignments and partnerships
We also work at Gruvberget together with the local outdoor association, maintaining the area around the warming hut and fire pits.
Work community and development
Workload and tasks vary by capacity. Some work full time; others a few hours per day.
For some, Fixarna is a stepping stone toward regular work with guided goals. For others, it is a valued place for community and a meaningful everyday life. Daily movement is part of the job and supports good health.
Participant example
Owe has been in the group for many years. Knows the customers well, enjoys the exercise the work provides, and prefers tasks other than drilling.
Support and safety
You receive pedagogical and practical guidance from team leaders. We practise respectful interaction with older clients and plan tasks so you can succeed at your own pace. The work makes a real difference, creating pride and safety for you and the people we help.
Where we are
Fixarna is located in the Björken building in central Boden at Strandplan 3 A. Entrance from the City Park. Follow the signage.
