Treatment Assistant for Grimmered and Ängabo Housing

Are you the one who creates a safe and meaningful existence for those who need it the most? At Grimmered and Ängabo housing, you have the chance to become part of our team that strives to shorten the time in homelessness for those struggling with addiction and psychosocial issues.

We focus our commitment on clients over 21 years old who, due to addiction or psychosocial issues, find themselves outside the open housing market. We act on behalf of the social services and, in consultation with the client, we tailor our efforts to meet the existing needs.

As a treatment assistant, you play a key role by offering motivating and individually tailored support to our clients. Your task is to promote a good quality of life for the residents, create meaningful activities and employment, and enable the development of housing skills, while actively counteracting social isolation. You will be a contact person for 2-3 clients and support them in their daily lives, which includes being present as support during authority and healthcare contacts, as well as holding motivational conversations and providing practical support to maintain comfort in the client's home. You will continuously document your work in our IT system Treserva and establish implementation plans in accordance with the social services' assignment. In collaboration with your colleagues, you are an important cog in executing daily operations, which also includes performing shared and practical tasks.

The unit is divided into two workplaces, and you will work either at Ängabo or Grimmered. Ängabo is located in Storås Angered, and Grimmered is located near Frölunda Torg. You will work alongside several experienced treatment assistants, method supervisors, and unit managers. You will work scheduled days, weekends, and evenings for 38.25 hours a week.
