Description

We are now looking for a support assistant for Enekullegatan's accommodation with special services in Lundby!

The users have both mental disabilities and physical care needs. In your work, the focus will be to support the user individually so that they can have a meaningful everyday life. If you are interested in changing the daily lives of people in Gothenburg and contributing to a richer life for those living in Lundby, you should apply to us at Enekullen!

Responsibilities

At Enekullegatan BmSS, we work on the premise that every user should be involved and given the opportunity to develop towards as independent a life as possible. In your role as a support assistant, you will work with a variety of tasks, from providing educational support in daily life to being involved in community life and leisure activities. Personal care and support at home, such as laundry, cleaning, and cooking, are carried out as much as possible together with the tenants.

You will work motivationally and create conditions for structure, participation, and self-determination based on each person's abilities.

You will be a support in contact with authorities, relatives, home healthcare, daily activities, and other partners. You will also actively work on following up implementation plans and maintaining ongoing documentation, which is done with the tenant's involvement.
