Support Assistant/Support Person for LSS Accommodation in Odenskog

Are you structured, experienced in care work, and good at motivating others? You could be our new support assistant/support person for our LSS accommodation in Odenskog!

We are currently seeking an engaged support assistant/support person for our LSS accommodation. With us, citizens of various ages with different disabilities live. Our citizens have their own apartments in a residential building, and there is a communal living room where we socialize, create activities, and celebrate holidays together. The work is varied and meaningful. The citizens have both psychosocial and physical support needs. You need to enjoy care work, and the role also involves working with medication as well as planning and structuring daily life.

The operation has a laundry schedule, which means you can influence your own schedule. Working hours are distributed between days, evenings, sleeping on-call, and weekends, currently scheduled between 09:00-23:00 on weekdays and weekends. If you work sleeping on-call, the shift will end at 10:00. Vacation trips occur.

The position is permanent, 85% with the possibility of working up to 100%. The extension can occur in other parts of the Disability Sector, giving you a chance for variation, new experiences, and a broader network. We are committed to creating a flexible work environment where your wishes and the goals of the organization meet. Start date is March 16 or by agreement.

Your New Job

As a support assistant, you work closely with the citizen and provide support based on individual needs and conditions. You help create structure in daily life and support the challenges that may arise both inside and outside the home.

The work includes several different care tasks. It is also advantageous if you have previous experience working with people with epilepsy. Knowledge in psychiatry or previous work in psychiatry is also a plus. For the role, it is important to be professional and not take on others' emotions. You need to have good computer skills as the computer is an important work tool, and we work in several different systems. It is also important to be creative and solution-focused to contribute to a safe, active, and content-rich daily life for the residents. We work very motivatingly and want to support participation in society, for example, through visits to meeting places, cinema visits, and other activities outside the accommodation.

With us, you will be part of a team of seven support assistants/support persons where you work closely with, among others, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and support pedagogues. Together, you create safety, quality, and good conditions for the citizen.
