Welcome to Alingsås!

As an employee in our municipality, you have all the opportunities to help develop the operations and your workplace.

Working as a personal assistant is a unique opportunity:

Working as an assistant within LSS with us means a calmer work environment with less stress and more time for presence. You will have the opportunity to build relationships, understand the individual's needs in depth, and focus on quality rather than pace in your work.

When you start with us, we offer you:

• A rewarding and meaningful job where you often meet a person in their home during your work shift. There is time to build relationships and truly understand the individual's needs.
• Experienced and accessible colleagues and a manager who provide you with great support in your daily work.
• Wellness allowance for the months you are employed and favorable discounts via E-passi.
• A solid introduction as well as guidance and training in care and low-arousal responses.
• If you wish, there is also the opportunity to continue working as a substitute both before and after the summer.
