Your Responsibilities

As a support educator at Aspnäsvägen, you will be part of an organization that is now taking the next step in its pedagogical work. This is the first time we are appointing a support educator, which means you will have an important role in further developing work methods, routines, and structure together with the work group. The assignment involves strengthening the pedagogical perspective in everyday life but also creating conditions for reflection and joint learning.

You will work closely with support assistants and contribute support in adapting interventions to individual needs, working in a low-arousal manner, and following up on work over time. You will assist in documentation and planning of implementation plans and help create clarity and security in how we plan and follow up on our interventions. The role also involves staying updated on new working methods and approaches and gently helping the group to incorporate elements that can strengthen the organization.

The work is done in dialogue with the operations manager and colleagues, and you will be part of the joint development work. The group is stable and has worked together for a long time, providing a secure foundation. Your role will be to complement what is already working well and contribute new perspectives that can further develop the organization. It is about finding sustainable paths for both employees and users together.

Your Workplace

Aspnäsvägen 120 is a group home in Ullstämma with five users. Here live individuals with physical and/or intellectual disabilities who need support in their daily lives. The work group consists of ten employees and is characterized by security, continuity, and good cooperation. The organization is stable and well-functioning, and we are now looking for a support educator who can help strengthen our pedagogical and quality-oriented work moving forward.

As a support educator, you will work during the day, evening, and weekends.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone with a YH education as a support educator or another education that we assess as equivalent. You need to have experience working in support, care, or nursing. Experience working with individuals with intellectual and/or physical disabilities is an advantage. It is also advantageous if you have worked with assistive technology. Knowledge of low-arousal approaches and good Swedish in both spoken and written form is required for the assignment.

To thrive in the role, you need to be able to work both independently and in close collaboration with colleagues. You need to be secure in yourself, able to distinguish between professional and private life, and at the same time have the ability to understand other people's perspectives. You communicate clearly and can adapt your approach based on the individual's needs and circumstances. An understanding of how people absorb knowledge is also important, as well as an interest in contributing to joint learning in the work group.
