Support Assistant for the Health and Care Administration

In the city of Mölndal, we are proud to have Sweden's most important jobs where we together create the best possible everyday life for our citizens. With knowledge, courage, and creativity, we develop our operations and contribute to making Mölndal an even better place to live and work. Welcome to make a difference in people's lives every day!

The Health and Care Administration, with its approximately 1500 employees, is one of the administrations in the city of Mölndal and includes elderly care, support for disabilities, and health care.

The housing support provides assistance to about 300 users. The housing support consists of two workgroups that conduct similar activities as well as two planners. The workgroups are divided into two smaller groups, each with a support pedagogue. We are now looking for a new colleague who wants to help create the best possible everyday life for our users.

RESPONSIBILITIES

In your role as a support assistant, you work to ensure that each user achieves as independent a life as possible. You work independently and alone with the users, either in their homes or in public environments where there is a need for support. This may mean that you need to work in homes where there are pets. You will travel between users/tasks using the city's cars.

You support users through various interventions such as breaking social isolation, approaching the job market, or starting studies. You also help users structure their everyday lives, manage household chores, and communicate with authorities and other agencies, while collaborating and cooperating with other actors. You will work with social documentation in the documentation system Treserva and continuously follow up and revise the implementation plans.

We work with operationally adapted and adjustable schedules. The needs are continuously adjusted according to the needs of the operation, which means that you need to be prepared to work during the day, evening, and weekend.

We value your ideas and your engagement, and together we create the conditions for development and an independent life for our users.
