Care for People with Disabilities

In our care services, we assist individuals with various disabilities.

We work to facilitate and support our clients in managing their daily practical tasks. The goal is for them to achieve as independent a life as possible. With the client at the center, we work with individual implementation plans, where the work is planned and executed based on our core values: trust, care, and participation.

We are currently seeking a staff member for our unit, currently placed at the group home Apoteksgatan located in Northern Gotland in the town of Slite. This is a residence with special services under LSS and provides round-the-clock care. We currently have a team of 8 staff members.

Your Responsibilities

As a support assistant/residential assistant, you will work alongside your colleagues to provide support, service, and care to the residents. This is a responsible job with a pedagogical perspective where you support our clients by assisting with:

• Personal care
• Household tasks
• Medication and other delegated HSL interventions
• Accompaniment

The role includes case management, which means you are responsible for implementation plans, contact with relatives, and coordination of LSS, HSL, and SOL interventions. You will work based on a basic schedule with shifts during the day, evening, and overnight with sleeping on-call duty.

The job also includes working on weekends according to a rotation schedule, allowing everyone the opportunity to work with all colleagues. Sometimes you may work two weekends in a row and sometimes be off for two weekends in a row, creating variation and balance in the work.

Who Are You?

We are looking for someone who has completed a secondary education and has a valid B driving license.

It is advantageous if you have training focused on care and support, but it is not a requirement. It is also beneficial if you have previously worked in care for individuals with disabilities and have experience with challenging behavior and low-arousal responses. Knowledge of sign communication and experience working with pictograms is also a merit. Additionally, familiarity with type 1 diabetes and experience with insulin delegation is a plus.

You possess personal maturity and are confident in yourself, with the ability to adapt your approach based on the individual and situation. You are self-motivated and take initiative while also having a well-developed ability to collaborate and enjoy working in a team.

You communicate clearly in spoken language and work in a structured manner, with good problem-solving and analytical skills when situations change or become more complex. The work varies and requires flexibility regarding tasks and hours. You see it as natural to sometimes support in other areas of the unit and contribute to a professional and stable work environment.

It is important that you are proficient in the Swedish language, both spoken and written, as all communication and documentation is conducted in Swedish.

Before a job offer is made, an acceptable extract from the police criminal record must be presented. As processing times may vary, we recommend ordering the extract in good time. Check your information in the criminal record (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/kontrollera-dina-uppgifter-i-belastningsregistret/)

We warmly welcome your application!
