Vacant job

We are in the process of creating Unika's fourth PWS group home where we are looking for someone who wants to learn everything about PWS, delve into research, drive work methods forward, and support colleagues in their work.

In early 2026, our new group home for individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) will open in Mölndal. You will be a key person in the organization and guide the workgroup in methods, approaches, etc., but you will not be alone. Within Unika, we have the competence and organization to support, guide, and educate in this specialized work, as we currently run three of the four existing group homes for individuals with PWS in Sweden.

About PWS

Between 5 - 7 children with PWS are born each year in Sweden. The syndrome is caused by genetic abnormalities and is characterized by excessive appetite, low production of growth hormone and sex hormone, as well as varying degrees of intellectual disability and autism-like conditions. 

In the role of support educator, you will provide support and service based on the residents' wishes, both at home and in leisure activities. You should contribute to ensuring that the resident has the opportunity for an active and meaningful life. Furthermore, you should be able to attend to each person's individual needs and conduct educational work based on this. As the needs vary among users, no day is the same, which contributes to a challenging and exciting job. You will also learn the specific working methods that we use and develop for individuals with PWS. 

You will work closely with your colleagues and have a significant responsibility to, in consultation with the operations manager, drive and develop the educational work in the organization. Some delegated health and medical care tasks are included in the work.

• Degree from the support educator program, 200 YH points or 60 HP in pedagogy.
• Experience and knowledge of the target group LSS adult group 1.
• Basic knowledge of household tasks such as nutrition and hygiene.
• Computer skills and good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.

It is an advantage if you also have

• Experience in leadership
• Experience working with individuals with autism.
• Experience working with challenging behavior.
• Experience working with individuals with complex psychosocial behavioral issues.
• Experience in clear communication and low-arousal approaches.
• Experience with Prader-Willi syndrome.
• A valid driver's license (B) is an advantage.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability and are looking for someone who is interested in acquiring new knowledge and research and adapting their working methods accordingly.
