Welcome to Alingsås!

As an employee in our municipality, you have all the opportunities to help develop the operations and your workplace. With nearly 4000 employees, we are large enough to drive change and at the same time small enough for everyone to have an impact and space for their ideas. There is room for innovators here. Together we create Alingsås!

Working as a personal assistant is a unique opportunity:

Working as an assistant within LSS with us means a calmer work environment with less stress and more time for presence. You will have the opportunity to build relationships, understand the individual's needs in depth, and focus on quality rather than pace in the work. The role suits you if you are curious about people's behaviors and have an interest in, for example, behavioral science, psychology, or social work.

When you start with us, we offer you:

• A rewarding and meaningful job where you often meet a person in their home during your work shift. Here, there is time to create relationships and truly understand the individual's needs.
• Experienced and accessible colleagues and a manager who provides you with great support in your daily work.
• Wellness allowance for the months you are employed, as well as favorable discounts via E-passi.
• A thorough introduction and guidance and training in care and low-arousal approaches.
• If you wish, there is also the opportunity to continue working as a substitute both before and after the summer.

Warm welcome with your application!
