Support Assistant for Linden's Daily Activities

Jönköping Municipality is a large employer with hundreds of different job roles. We are growing in line with the municipality's development with more residents, more housing, and a larger offering. We are always on the lookout for new skills - employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences, united by the common drive to create a better municipality to visit, live, work, and reside in.

Do you want to make a difference every day for people with disabilities? Do you want to help open doors for these individuals to participation and development? We are looking for an engaged support assistant who wants to help create meaningful days for individuals in daily activities.

Your new job

Linden has been directed towards individuals with multiple disabilities for many years and has expanded its operations this autumn to also offer support to individuals with challenging behaviors. We organize activities that are individually tailored to abilities, needs, and interests. The activities we arrange can be both indoors and outdoors, in all weather. Since both participants and the operation have varying conditions, it is necessary for you to be adaptable in carrying out your assignment. You will work with different participants, which means that routines, working methods, and structures may vary. A low-arousal approach and clear pedagogy are fundamental to your working method. Social documentation is also included in the work.

Your qualifications

For the title of support assistant, a completed upper secondary program in health and care/nursing with specialization in the area of disabilities/psychiatry or children and leisure with a focus on social/pedagogical work is required. Alternatively, another education that the employer assesses as equivalent.

Requirements for the position are that you have at least 1 year of experience working in the field of support for individuals with disabilities, autism, challenging behaviors, and multiple disabilities. Education in autism, clear communication, and low-arousal approaches is advantageous. You must master Swedish in speech, writing, and reading comprehension as there will be contact with participants, relatives, guardians, and other professionals, as well as documentation and reading information related to the work. A manual transmission driver's license (B) is a requirement for the position.

As a person, you are secure and stable, with the ability to adapt to situations that arise in a professional manner. You are flexible and adaptable as you will work with different participants. We appreciate creativity and the ability to find new solutions in daily work, as well as being self-sufficient in your work by taking responsibility, structuring, and prioritizing your tasks. You have the ability to work both independently and in a group. You respect the equal value of all individuals and are attentive and open to others' opinions.
