Here, seven users live, and the operation also includes a satellite apartment located a short distance from the residence. Our users have intellectual disabilities and are on the autism spectrum.

As a support pedagogue, you have overall responsibility for the educational work within the operation. Your role is to gather and disseminate knowledge about methods and approaches, ensuring that they are used and developed effectively. Together with the workgroup, you establish, implement, and follow up on routines, action plans, and activity descriptions. This way, we all become better at understanding needs and providing the right support, allowing more individuals to live a good and independent life like everyone else.

As a support pedagogue, you ensure that social documentation and implementation plans are established, further developed, and followed according to laws and guidelines. You act as support and guide for each individual employee, the workgroup, and you also provide support to the manager. You guide the workgroup based on the needs and methods of the operation. Together with your colleagues, you play a central role in the quality development of the operation and the systematic improvement work.

You are part of a network with other pedagogues and collaborate with relatives, guardians, and other key individuals to ensure that the tenants receive good care, support, and services.

The residence with special services offers support around the clock. We base our work on the needs of the tenants and need to adjust working hours accordingly. Working hours are scheduled for day, evening, and weekend shifts as needed. We use Time Care Planning for operationally adapted and flexible schedules.
