Job Responsibilities

Västra Tuvevägen BmSS is a residence with special services for younger individuals with neuropsychiatric disabilities.

The operation includes ten individual apartments where tenants receive personalized support in their daily lives. The support is primarily provided in their own homes but may also involve assistance with activities, contact with authorities, and health care.

As a support assistant, you work closely with the tenants to create conditions for an independent and meaningful life. The work is based on implementation plans and involves support in daily tasks, communication, leisure activities, and social interaction. You collaborate with relatives, guardians, and other stakeholders and are responsible for social documentation and medication management according to delegation. The goal is to strengthen the tenants' participation, self-determination, and personal development. There are animals in the residence, so it is important that you are comfortable working in such an environment. Challenging behaviors may occur.

The working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, and every other weekend. Some work time may occur in other operations. We use Time Care Planning for operationally adapted and flexible schedules.

We offer you a rewarding and varied job with the opportunity to make a difference!
