Wallingatan Residence

Wallingatan Residence is located in the lower Luthagen district, in a quiet area with older houses and close to the Stabby rectory green area. Wallingatan is a special accommodation for people with psychiatric disabilities. Here, we offer support aimed at improving the quality of life for residents, which we believe can, in turn, reduce psychiatric symptoms.

At Wallingatan, 8 users live in their own apartments with access to a shared living room, dining room, and kitchen. The residence is open during the day every day of the year.

We are now looking for a colleague for full-time work at the residence.

Job Description

As a residential assistant, you will work towards providing high-quality care and support, creating a meaningful and as independent daily life as possible. You will collaborate with colleagues in the team, external actors, and licensed personnel. You are expected to always work based on the implementation plan established together with the user. Your tasks include individual care, supporting, coaching, and guiding in practical and social situations, as well as assisting with social contacts in the community. You will also administer medication according to instructions from licensed personnel. Administrative tasks such as creating implementation plans and documenting are also included, which is why very good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written, is crucial for succeeding in this role.

The job suits you who are service-oriented, attentive, and accommodating in your interactions, and if you are creative and often come up with ideas and new approaches to work-related issues, that is a positive aspect.

As a person, you are good at adapting when things change and can quickly alter your thinking and actions. You see opportunities in changes. You remain calm and stable even when it is stressful. You focus on what is important and have a realistic perspective, and you can understand how others feel without taking over their emotions. You meet people calmly, kindly, and attentively.
