JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Work within social psychiatry may involve helping adults with multiple interventions who have suffered from mental health issues such as severe depression, panic disorder, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance abuse, and various neuropsychiatric disabilities.

You should have an approach and response that provides individually tailored support in daily living, which means that interventions should meet the individual's psychological, physical, and social needs. The work involves promoting the individual's abilities and independence.

We work based on varying support interventions developed together with the individual, such as support in attending their activities, planning, and motivational conversations. The work includes assisting the individual in performing household chores, such as cleaning, laundry, and shopping, as well as personal care. You will have regular contact with relatives, representatives, and other people who are significant to the user.

You work daily with AAC, communication aids, and cognitive support as a natural part of the job.

We operate based on self-determination, influence, participation, accessibility, and independence. These keywords are reflected in LSS (the Act on Special Support). Staff should encourage the individual to develop their independence.

• An independent, responsible, and varied job.
• An opportunity to gain good knowledge and experience in various operations.
• An opportunity to meet many new colleagues with good competence and experience.
