Vacant job

Are you passionate about providing people with the opportunity for meaningful employment on their terms? We are now looking for new dedicated support assistants for Solna daily activities!

Waxö Omsorg is a small care company that offers support, service, and care to adults with cognitive and neuropsychiatric disabilities and individuals with acquired brain injuries. We operate in Solna and Nacka, managing housing and daily activities independently.

The individual needs, desires, and integrity of each person guide all operations within Waxö Omsorg.

An important principle is that the care recipient should receive the support they need to live as independently and fulfilling a life as possible, as well as being offered full participation in society.

At Waxö Omsorg, we follow the guidelines of the National Board of Health and Welfare and use methods such as clear pedagogy, low-arousal responses, and AAC in our work.

Waxö Omsorg has a collective agreement with parties according to the Care and Welfare Agreement, Swedish Municipal Workers' Union Kommunal. We work solution-oriented for a good working environment for all, with a strong environmental policy.

About the workplace

Solna daily activities offer daily activities according to the LSS 9 §10 intervention, target groups 1 and 2.

Solna DV offers group activities such as wellness, music/drama, and creative activities for individuals with varying support needs. We operate at two addresses. At Storgatan 52, we have our wellness facility, which includes a bubble bath. At Storgatan 54, we have our studio.

Many individuals who participate in our daily activities have extensive support needs, which may involve both physical and cognitive support. The support is described in each care recipient's implementation plan and is based on their desires and needs.

The work at Solna daily activities is scheduled during daytime hours, Monday to Friday. Solna daily activities are located near Huvudsta center, with the entire Huvudstafältet right outside the door, providing opportunities for outdoor activities.
