Coordinator for the children's home Lyan in Lindesberg municipality

We are now looking for a coordinator for a recently established operation, the children's home Lyan in Lindesberg municipality. Are you the one we are looking for?

At the home, children in middle school age with neuropsychiatric disabilities reside. We are looking for someone who wants to help develop the operation. Organizationally, the home falls under the Funktionsstöd (Functional Support) within the Social Administration. Within Funktionsstöd, there are group and service housing, personal assistance, daily activities, and short-term accommodation for children and young people.

Our mission is to provide residents with disabilities, regardless of age, the support and assistance they need for their daily living based on legal and approved decisions. Operations according to LSS (Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) should work to promote equality and participation in society. Individuals should have the opportunity to live like others and be assured of good living conditions.

As a coordinator, you will support the child in their daily life together with your colleagues and contribute to a safe home environment. You will support a child during their upbringing and enable the child's development. We work with methods such as low-arousal approach (LAB) and clarifying pedagogy. You will assist and support the child in all situations such as personal care, meals, walks, play situations, and other daily activities. The work includes regular household chores such as cooking, cleaning, and washing dishes.

The working hours at the facility are according to a schedule distributed over daytime, evening, weekend, and awake night shifts.

You will primarily work during the day but with varied working hours to support the team. The role is primarily administrative, but you are expected to work in the facility for part of your working hours.
