Job Responsibilities

We are taking a new approach at Morängatan – would you like to join us in creating a positive and developing everyday life for our tenants?

We are now looking for eight new Support Assistants who want to work in an organization where we collaboratively develop methods, approaches, and practices to provide the best possible support for the individuals living with us.

Morängatan is a residence with special services for adults with neuropsychiatric diagnoses and mental health issues. Here, ten tenants live, each with individual needs, interests, and circumstances. As a support assistant, you play a central role in providing support that enhances independence and creates a safe and meaningful daily life. By working based on implementation plans, you ensure that each tenant's needs are prioritized and that support is provided in a respectful and professional manner.

In your work, you motivate tenants in their daily lives, both inside and outside the home. This may involve encouraging social activities, supporting contacts outside the residence, or creating opportunities for enriching leisure activities based on the tenant's interests. You also provide assistance with everyday tasks such as personal hygiene, laundry, cleaning, and cooking.

You collaborate with guardians, social workers, healthcare professionals, and family members, and are part of a team where respectful interaction, method development, and a low-arousal approach are integral parts of daily life. The work also includes social documentation, medication management, and insulin administration as delegated. The role may sometimes involve working alone, which makes it important that you feel secure with the target group and confident in your professional interactions.

The residence offers support around the clock, and working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, and every other weekend. We use Time Care Planning for operationally adapted schedules.

With us, you will have a varied and meaningful job where you make a real difference – every day.

Warm welcome to submit your application!
