JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We are looking for summer and hourly substitutes for daily activities and housing support within the Administration for Support to People with Disabilities in the Hisingen and Centrum districts.

You will be matched to either daily activities or housing support, based on both your preferences and the needs of the services. You will have the opportunity in your application to rank which option you are most interested in.

Daily Activities:

Daily activities offer employment for individuals with various types of physical and/or intellectual disabilities. Your tasks will vary depending on the service you work in, but fundamentally, the work consists of tasks such as pedagogical support and assisting and guiding participants according to individual needs. Activities in daily activities may include crafts and manufacturing, music and theater, baking, sensory stimulation, or movement joy. The tasks also include support with personal care and toilet visits. Working hours in daily activities are daytime Monday to Friday.

Housing Support:

Your tasks are performed in the individual's home. The target group includes neuropsychiatric conditions, intellectual disabilities, and other mental variations. Substance abuse issues may also occur. Interventions may include support for social or physical activities, support with structure in daily life, assistance in contact with authorities, and support with daily chores such as shopping and cleaning. There may also be activities outside the home to break isolation or support in finding meaningful employment. The work involves working alone, which places high demands on the ability to work independently. Working hours are primarily daytime Monday to Friday, but occasional evenings and weekends may occur.

We are looking for:

• Summer substitutes who want to work full-time on a schedule during the summer period. To be considered for summer substitutes, you should preferably be available for the entire period from week 25 to 33.
• Hourly substitutes who work as needed in the services. As an hourly substitute, you can control your working hours by entering your availability and receiving requests for work accordingly. You can combine the work with studies, other activities, or retirement. There are good opportunities for a future within the city.

Those who do not meet the qualification requirements in Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1 may be offered to take a language test through the testing user Educateit.

It is a requirement that you have completed or are currently enrolled in education in healthcare and social services or within social or pedagogical work, or if you have work experience in the field of disabilities, healthcare, or equivalent work. It is an advantage if you have previously worked with challenging behavior and LAB (Low Arousal Approach).

You take responsibility for your tasks and the group's tasks. You think of those we are here for and their best interests. You are friendly and helpful to others even in stressful situations. You show respect for everyone you meet at work. You are inviting and positive. You work to ensure that the student/client/user gets what they need. You remain calm and secure in pressured and difficult situations. You can balance the demands placed on you and make well-grounded decisions even under time pressure.
