JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

If you want to create a positive environment for our users, are good at encouraging stimulating activities, and find it easy to engage others in positive thinking, then you might be the one we are looking for!

We are now looking for a colleague for a housing facility with special services for young adults with neuropsychiatric diagnoses and mental health issues. At Västra Tuvevägen, ten tenants live with us. As a support assistant, you will support our tenants based on individual needs that lead to a good and independent life. The work includes motivating users in their daily lives. This could involve stimulating contacts outside the home and creating conditions for a rewarding leisure time based on the user's interests. It may also involve support regarding personal hygiene, laundry, cleaning, and cooking. Our primary tools are our approach and our attitude, where meeting issues and method development are central. As a support assistant, you enable our tenants to develop and grow. In our work, we base our approach on a low-arousal method in all situations.

The working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, sleeping on-call, and every other weekend. There are animals in the residence, so it is important that you do not have allergies to them.

We offer you a rewarding and varied job with the opportunity to make a difference!

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 educational work. The educational requirement is also met if you have a post-secondary specialization in the disability field that includes at least 200 YH points, 120 university credits, or a combination thereof corresponding to at least four terms 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 points in behavioral science, pedagogy, psychology, social work, and (psychiatric) care or other education that the employer deems equivalent.

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.

You have experience from previous work with self-harming behavior and anxiety management. You also have experience working with the target group within neuropsychiatry. We consider it an advantage if you have experience from previous work with low-arousal responses, motivational interviewing, and independent living.

You are friendly and helpful towards others even in a stressful situation. You are attentive and open to understanding other people's needs, feelings, and opinions. You work well with others by listening, showing interest, and respect. You plan, organize, and prioritize your work efficiently.

Welcome with your application!
