Job Responsibilities

The role of a support assistant at Björkhöjdsstigen involves providing support to residents in their daily lives, both inside and outside the home. The operation is characterized by participation and influence, where the individual’s needs and wishes are at the center.

We work with alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) to enable communication and participation for all residents. Documentation and follow-up are done in the operational system Treserva.

As a support assistant, you will have responsibilities as a contact person. The job also involves close collaboration with relatives, guardians, and colleagues. The position includes receiving delegations according to the Health and Medical Services Act (HSL).

Working hours are planned in the scheduling system Time Care and are scheduled for daytime, evening hours, and every other weekend.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a degree from the Health and Care program, support assistant training, or the Child and Leisure program with a focus on social or educational work. The educational requirement is also met if you have a post-secondary specialization in the disability area that includes at least 200 YH points, 120 higher education credits, or a combination that corresponds to at least four semesters of full-time studies. Alternatively, the requirement can be met through 60 higher education credits combined with at least two years of experience in support and service work.

You need to have a good command of the Swedish language, both spoken and written. This means a requirement for passing grades in Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1, or equivalent. Language skills are necessary as documentation is part of the job, and you need to be able to handle our IT systems. If you do not meet the language requirement, you may be offered a language test via the testing provider Educateit.

We consider it an advantage if you have experience in similar work as a support assistant. You are friendly, respectful, and helpful even in stressful situations, and have the ability to quickly adapt your approach to changing conditions. You take responsibility for both your own and the group’s tasks.

You collaborate well with others by listening, showing engagement, and respect. You understand the common mission and actively work to contribute to maintaining high quality in the operation.
