Vacant job

We are all different. We are also alike and have the same right to a safe home, meaningful employment, and to feel valuable. This is how we develop and can participate in society. People with disabilities should be able to live a good and independent life. A life like everyone else's.

With 6,000 employees, we are Sweden's largest support administration for people with disabilities. We make decisions about and work within housing with special services, daily activities, employment, housing support, personal assistance, various forms of relief, support, and escorting. We actively work to develop and spread knowledge within the City of Gothenburg and to others. In this way, we all become better at understanding needs and providing the right support. Together, we ensure that more people can live a good and independent life like everyone else.

Welcome to become one of us! You are Gothenburg.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We are now looking for support assistants for Hallegatans BmSS and Åbogårdens BmSS in central Hisingen!

Hallegatans BmSS and Åbogårdens BmSS are two group homes with a focus on the elderly. They are located in the same building and cooperate with each other. You will be employed in one of the operations. Your workdays may involve everything from motivating and providing support based on the tenant's individually designed implementation plan, such as structuring daily life and finding/following routines, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and personal hygiene, as well as performing medical interventions on delegation from a nurse or rehabilitation staff. The work also includes providing support for activities and meaningful leisure. The assignment also includes participating in the establishment of implementation plans, which form the basis for quality assurance of the services. Together with your colleagues, you provide support to the tenants in their daily lives, which includes both home life and leisure activities, which may expose you to passive smoking and pets.

You will, in consultation with the support pedagogues, develop methods that lead to independence, influence, and participation for the tenants. The methods should be based on proven experience, evidence, and have a theoretical foundation.

Scheduling is done via TimeCare and some shifts are performed at other units. Working hours are during the day and evening as well as weekends.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who has a degree from the Health and Care program, support assistant training, or the Child and Leisure program with a focus on social or pedagogical work. The educational requirement is also met if you have a post-secondary specialization in the disability field that includes at least 200 YH credits, 120 university credits, or a combination in between that corresponds to at least four semesters of full-time studies. Alternatively, 60 university credits and at least two years of experience working with support and services for people with disabilities. The education should have relevant credits in behavioral science, pedagogy, psychology, social work, and (psychiatric) care or other education that the employer assesses as equivalent.

Very good knowledge of Swedish in speech and writing is a requirement; you need to have passed Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1. If you do not meet the qualification requirements in Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1, you may be offered to take a language test through the test user Educateit.

It is an advantage if you have experience working with AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication), LAB (low-arousal approach), and clear pedagogical methods. Other advantageous experiences include knowledge of acquired brain injuries, challenging behavior, and good computer skills.

You have the interest, will, and ability to help others, and you strive to present solutions. You have the ability to work together with others to perform tasks and achieve goals. By being interested and creating understanding for others, you contribute to a respectful work climate. You show respect and consideration for those you meet in your professional role. You start from everyone's equal value and create a good atmosphere in the meeting. You have an open and positive attitude as you base your actions on the user's needs.

Welcome with your application!
