Vacant job

We are now looking for part-time substitutes for our team at Vassmolösa BoU.  About Vassmolösa Children and Youth Home    

Vassmolösa is an LSS residence aimed at young people aged 13-18 (or as long as the youth is in school) who have a diagnosis within the autism spectrum and/or intellectual disabilities.

We work individually tailored based on Nytida's pedagogical framework (read more here (https://nytida.se/sa-jobbar-vi/nytidas-pedagogiska-ramverk/)) which is based on low-arousal responses, clarifying pedagogy, and alternative and augmentative communication (AAC). The working method is individually adapted so that each individual youth has the best conditions for quality of life, participation, self-determination, and meaningfulness. With calmness, security, and structure, we support the youth to utilize their strengths and embrace their interests.

We are a smaller staff group that works closely together, where collaboration among colleagues is the starting point.

We support the youth, step by step, towards becoming increasingly independent, as preparation for adult life. We base our implementation plan on the youth's needs, strengths, and interests. In all activities, we take into account the youth's right to participation and independence based on their abilities.

The residence is located 23 kilometers south of Kalmar in a village called Kvarnlyckan. Here, it is close to beautiful nature, walking trails, the sea, and swimming spots. The nearest bus stop is 2.3 kilometers from the residence, and it takes 30 minutes to Kalmar by public transport. A short drive will take you to various recreational activities available in the area, such as bowling, swimming pools, cinemas, skate parks, playgrounds, ice rinks, libraries, and more.
