Support Assistant for Lindens Daily Activities
Jönköping Municipality is a large employer with hundreds of different professional roles. We are growing in line with the city's development, with more residents, more housing, and a larger offering. We are always on the lookout for new talent - employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences, united by the common drive to create a better city to visit, live, work, and reside in.
Lindens daily activities are aimed at individuals with multiple disabilities but will expand the operations to also create space for participants with more complex support needs.
Your New Job
Your new job will primarily be in the newly started part of the operation and involves being a support for the participants and instructing and guiding them in the activities they perform. We arrange activities that are individually tailored to ability, needs, and interests. The activities we organize can be both indoors and outdoors, in all weather. Since both participants and the operation have varying conditions, it is necessary that you are adaptable in the execution of your task. You will work with different participants, which means that routines, working methods, and structures may vary. A low-arousal approach and clarifying pedagogy are consistent in your working method. Social documentation is also included in the work.
Your Competence
For the title of support assistant, a completed high school program in health and care/nursing assistant with a specialization in the disability area/psychiatry or children and leisure with a focus on social/pedagogical work is required. Alternatively, other education that the employer assesses as equivalent.
Requirements for the position are that you have at least 1 year of experience working in the disability support area, autism, and challenging behavior, as well as physical and severe disabilities. Training in autism, clarifying communication, and low-arousal approaches is an advantage. You must master Swedish in speech, writing, and reading comprehension as there will be contact with participants, relatives, guardians, and other professionals, as well as documentation and reading information related to the work. A B driver's license for manual transmission is a requirement for the position.
As a Person, You Are
secure and stable, with the ability to adapt to situations that arise in a professional manner. You are flexible and adaptable as you will be working with different participants. We appreciate creativity and the ability to find new solutions in daily work, as well as being self-driven in your work by taking responsibility, structuring, and prioritizing your tasks. You have the ability to work both independently and in a group. You respect the equal worth of all individuals and are receptive and open to others' opinions.
