Vacant job

Description

We are now looking for a support assistant for a permanent position at Västra Palmgrensgatan!

Västra Palmgrensgatan is a residential facility with special services consisting of 6 apartments for users with acquired brain injuries.

The residence has high accessibility as five of the tenants are wheelchair users, thus representing a target group with varying care needs. This means that the work involves lifting and transfers, of course with the help of aids. The premises have a strong focus on the comfort of the user and include, among other things, a sensory room with a bubble bath, sensory stimulation, and training equipment.

Job Responsibilities

The work as a support assistant with us means supporting the individual in daily life, both inside and outside the residence. The assignment entails great responsibility and requires a good ability for motivational conversations to support the users in their daily lives and to make them as involved as possible. There is a significant need for support in care, rehabilitation efforts, and home life. The user should be involved in community life, which you actively work towards, whether through excursions or organized activities. You will work with documentation, implementation plans, and follow-up of these together with the unit's pedagogue. You will also be involved in the work of establishing and revising the routines of the operations and users as needed. The work involves collaboration with users, relatives, guardians, and colleagues. It also includes receiving delegation according to the Health and Medical Services Act.

With us, there is room to do what the users want, and we work with quality of life both inside and outside the home. In your work, you create valuable, long-term relationships with other people and support those who have difficulty making their voices heard.

We offer you a secure employment with a flexible and meaningful job where you have the opportunity to influence the content of the work and your working hours. The working hours are day/evening and every other weekend.

Do you want to be part of our wonderful team at Västra Palmgrensgatan? Don't hesitate to submit your application today!
