Karlskoga Municipality works with competency-based recruitment aimed at recognizing each person's skills and thus counteracting discrimination.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As an employee, you will work based on decisions made according to the Social Services Act and the Health and Medical Services Act, as well as LSS (the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons). The work is primarily solitary, but with proximity to colleagues in neighboring operations, and the workgroup is expected to act as a team.

You will work to provide residents with a meaningful and functional everyday life. This may involve support with cooking, hygiene, cleaning, laundry, contact with authorities, and leisure activities. As a support assistant, you strive to preserve and develop the competencies of the resident in your purposeful work to increase their independence.

Your responsibilities include maintaining social documentation according to legislation and establishing, following up, and revising implementation plans.

You will participate in the quality development of the operation and attend various meetings, training sessions, and supervision. The work is conducted with great respect for the residents' right to self-determination and integrity.

You will work based on a clarifying and pedagogical approach, with good knowledge and understanding of the importance of a low-arousal response.

Delegated tasks from a nurse, such as medication management and, where applicable, rehabilitative and trained interventions from a physiotherapist/occupational therapist, are also included.

We are committed to running a developing and learning organization. We value employees' engagement and initiative. As an employer, we are keen to provide you with opportunities to develop as a person and to grow together with the group and the organization.

We are looking for someone who has completed the Child and Leisure Program or the Health and Care Program or another education that the employer deems equivalent.

You need to have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.

You should have good computer skills and a B driver's license.
