We are looking for a support educator for Bmss Segelflyget!

Segelflyget is a service residence located in a multi-family house at Amhults Torg in Torslanda, where each tenant has their own apartment.

Our tenants are adults with varying disabilities, such as Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and neuropsychiatric diagnoses.

At Segelflyget, you will work in a team where all colleagues are employed as support educators. As a support educator, you will provide tenants with support and care in all everyday situations. You will work based on the tenants' needs and promote their opportunities for development. Together with colleagues, you will design the pedagogical work in daily life. You, along with the team, will establish, implement, and follow up on routines, action plans, and activity descriptions.

We actively work with various cognitive aids supported by the latest IT technology. We are implementing evidence-based practice in the operation and actively working with MI conversations (Motivational Interviewing) and ESL (An Independent Life).

As a support educator, you will ensure that all social documentation and implementation plans are established for the tenant you are the contact person for. Together with your colleagues, you will play a central role in the quality development of the operation and the systematic improvement work. You will be part of a network with other educators and collaborate with relatives, guardians, and other key persons to ensure the tenant receives good care, support, and service.

Housing with special services offers support around the clock. We base our work on the tenants' needs and need to adjust working hours accordingly. Working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, weekends, and sleeping on-call. We use Time Care Planning for operationally adapted and flexible schedules.

Welcome with your application!
