Support Assistant Wanted in Norrköping Municipality

Do you want a varied job where you help individuals with assistance decisions manage their daily lives? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

Who are we?

The Social Office in Norrköping Municipality focuses on the needs of the individual. It should be easy to get help. Our support and treatment services maintain high quality and are based on legally secure assessments. We want to find solutions close to the individual and contribute to a positive change. Together, we want to create security and good social services for those of us living in Norrköping.

Personal assistance consists of four teams. We collaborate and help each other where needed. The operation is divided among four unit managers, three coordinators, and two payroll assistants. Together with about 90 support assistants and caregivers, we provide personal assistance to the clients who have chosen the municipality as their provider.

The clients have decisions through LSS or SFB, and based on that decision, we help our clients achieve a functioning daily life, which includes support in everything from cooking and personal care to leisure activities.

We are now looking for a support assistant to cover for a colleague on parental leave until August 2026.

Your Responsibilities

As a support assistant, you will have a meaningful role where you work in the homes of one or more clients and assist them with what they have been granted based on their implementation plan. You help the client with personal hygiene, transfers, shopping, performing activities, and other household tasks.

Your work is based on a client-oriented approach where clients receive support and services based on their individual needs in a way that enables independence, self-determination, and participation according to their ability.

You will work day/evening/sleeping on-call shifts and every other weekend. Your work is based on the client's needs, which means that sometimes you will work together with a colleague and sometimes alone.

The job also includes documenting the clients' development and needs and following up to ensure that the client receives the right support and assistance.

Who are you?

For this position, we are looking for someone who is a trained support assistant, nursing assistant, or has another education that the employer deems equivalent.

A driver's license and access to a personal vehicle are required as the client lives about 10-15 minutes outside central Norrköping and there is no bus service.

We prefer that you have experience working as a personal assistant or support assistant.

As a person, you are stable and self-assured. Since you often work alone, we see that you have a good ability to solve situations that arise independently.

You enjoy working with people and place great importance on maintaining a high quality in your interactions with clients and relatives as well as other partners in your daily work such as supervisors and colleagues.

Personal maturity and empathetic ability are highly valued as they help you understand various situations that individuals may find themselves in, while still being able to remain professional and not take over their feelings.

Since we work with people, no day is the same, and we believe that you thrive in this environment and can adapt flexibly to changing circumstances that arise during the workday.

The position requires that you can communicate well in Swedish both verbally and in writing. Since the client has aids that require written communication, high language skills are required.

Welcome with your application!
