The working method is characterized by the building blocks of LSS: participation, self-determination, and independence, with the right to live a life similar to everyone else's.

We always strive for our clients to become as independent as possible based on their circumstances. In our work, we always start from the individual themselves and what they wish for the day, the week, or generally in life, which then forms the basis for our common approach towards the specific individual.

In the role of support assistant, you will have a varied job that involves close collaboration with municipal health care personnel, psychiatry, relatives, and representatives.

• Education and/or experience in TAKK.
• Knowledge and/or experience working with challenging behavior.
• Good knowledge of Swedish in both spoken and written form.

As a person, we prefer that you are calm, attentive, and clear in your communication. You are independent, take responsibility for your work, and can meet the individual's needs through a balance of structure and flexibility. You have the ability to adapt your working method to the situation and thrive when many different things are happening at once. You have good collaboration skills, are eager to develop, and are creative in finding new ways to increase the client's participation, independence, and communication.
