The city of Västerås has removed the personal letter from the application process. We do this to achieve a better and fairer recruitment process. When you submit your application, you will be asked to answer a number of questions that will be an important part of our selection work.

Are you interested in rehabilitation and treatment work? Then we hope you will apply to us as a summer substitute for the Support and Housing Unit!

Your tasks

The focus of the role is to work on motivation-building together with the clients. You will also work supportively in various areas such as housing, family, finances, and finding meaningful leisure activities. The role also includes performing health and medical interventions based on delegation and collaboration with several parties, including social services. To be able to support this vulnerable group, you have a relationship-building and stable approach. It is natural for you to see new opportunities in a complex life situation and to be determined and clear when required.

Your qualifications

We are looking for someone with a YH/KY education as a treatment assistant/social pedagogue or equivalent education. If you have education in addiction or mental disabilities, it is an advantage. You have good computer skills, and if you have previous experience with documentation, it is also an advantage. You will meet clients in difficult situations, so it is important that you have an empathetic ability and a willingness to help and find solutions.

A driver's license (B) is an advantage.
