Vacant job

Every day, around 1800 people go to work at Östhammar Municipality to deliver welfare and development so that our local community can continue to be safe and attractive. We do this together, with commitment, responsibility, and openness. We are proud of that.

We have high ambitions when it comes to continuously raising our collective competence through process guidance, training, and access to regional competence development programs. We also actively monitor workload to create a good working environment. Remote work is possible if the operations allow it. In addition, we offer advance vacation and the option to exchange your vacation pay for extra days off, wellness grants, and occupational pension.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We are now looking for an engaged support assistant who wants to help shape our operations. As a support assistant within execution, you work as a contact person and brighten the days for the customers who have been granted this service, in accordance with LSS or SoL. In this role, you may meet both children and adults. You have close contact with the executing contact secretary and are part of a work team, but work independently with customers. The position may also involve work in another part of the care office if you do not fill your workday as a support assistant on certain days. This could mean working as a contact person for individuals living in group homes, as a guide, or as a respite caregiver at home. The work is scheduled for days, evenings, and weekends.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with at least a high school education in a relevant field and documented experience working with individuals with special needs, as deemed suitable by the employer. Education and/or experience in psychiatry is an advantage. A B driver's license for a manual transmission vehicle is also required for the job.

We place great importance on personal suitability as the work requires you to be flexible and humble, adapting your approach to the customer's living conditions, personality, and wishes. You are attentive and accommodating, thus creating trusting relationships. The work also requires you to work independently and maintain your composure even in stressful situations, as well as being able to take initiative and get things done.

The position is a fixed-term employment for 8 months, with the possibility of extension.
