In our work, we support individuals to achieve a good quality of life based on their individual needs. Your support makes a difference and is valuable!

Working hours vary between day and evening shifts, sleeping on-call, and every other weekend. We give you the opportunity to choose the working hours you wish to work. The position involves having some shifts at another workplace within the unit, i.e., a combined position. The need for the position is around 90%, but you are offered to work up to 100% if you wish.

The position also requires that you have previous experience in similar work.

To succeed and thrive in the role, you need to be able to work independently and be flexible in your approach. You must have good self-awareness and be secure in yourself. We place great importance on good collaboration skills and empathetic ability. We want you to have a genuine interest in people and the ability to see solutions and opportunities.

The position requires basic IT skills and the ability to work with the systems we use for documentation, among other things. As we work with social documentation, it is important that you can express yourself both in writing and verbally in Swedish.
