Your tasks

We are now starting a completely new daily activity. Do you want to be part of a collaboration with the manager and colleagues to build an operation with joy and commitment? The goal is a developing and stimulating environment where both employees and workers thrive. We welcome your application!

As a support assistant in the new daily activity, you will be part of a workgroup that creates a meaningful and stimulating everyday life for our workers. Your task is to support and guide the workers in their daily activities through a pedagogical approach and a low-arousal response. We work to strengthen each individual's independence and participation based on their own conditions and needs.

Your tasks include creating and following individual plans, such as schedules and checklists to support the worker's own abilities. You will document in the operational system Treserva and write implementation plans according to the IBIC (Individual's Needs in Center) approach.

The activities we offer our workers will be varied and adapted to the individual's needs, including activities such as walks in the local area, excursions to the forest, and indoor activities like painting, crafting, or listening to music.

Your workplace

The LSS department in the Social Administration is responsible for providing support and services to people with disabilities according to LSS (the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons). Within the department, we work to ensure that all individuals receive the support they need to live as independently and meaningfully as possible.

The new daily activity will accommodate approximately five workers, and we are now looking for four new employees for the operation. The operation is designed to provide support to individuals with various forms of disabilities and/or physical variations. Working hours are scheduled during the day, Monday to Friday.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone with a recognized education from the care and nursing program, child and leisure program, or other education deemed equivalent. You should have experience working in care, support, and nursing, preferably with individuals who have intellectual and/or physical disabilities. It is an advantage if you have previously worked with daily activities or have knowledge of neuropsychiatric disabilities.

We value knowledge in alternative and augmentative communication (AAC), low-arousal response, and pedagogical work and approach. It is also advantageous if you have experience working according to IBIC (Individual's Needs in Center). The work involves many different contacts and documentation, which means that it is a requirement that you can communicate orally and in writing in Swedish. A B driver's license for manual transmission is required as travel may occur in the job.

As a person, you are self-driven, responsible, and have an empathetic ability. You work well with others and can adapt your communication style depending on the individual.
