Do you want to make a difference in people's everyday lives? Look here!

We are now looking for summer and hourly substitutes for our Staffing Unit within the Department of Support for Persons with Disabilities, district South-West (Frölunda, Högsbo, Askim, Styrsö and western Gothenburg), who will cover for regular staff's short-term absences and vacations during the year and summer.

Within support for persons with disabilities, you will work with everything from home care to supporting individuals in their workplaces, in leisure activities, or in creative environments such as theater and music. Support in everyday life is the foundation – but needs vary. Regardless of the assignment, the goal is always the same: to strengthen people's independence and quality of life.

What is a disability?

A disability is a reduced physical, mental, or intellectual ability. It can be congenital or arise later in life and can be visible or invisible. Every person is unique – with their own abilities, needs, and strengths – and that is what makes the work both meaningful and rewarding.

Our operations

We are recruiting for several operations within support for persons with disabilities:

• Housing with special services (BmSS) – round-the-clock operations.
• Daily activities – habilitative and work-oriented activities during the day.
• Housing support – support in the users' home environment, mainly during the day but also evenings and weekends.
• Short-term accommodation for adults – time-limited support and care for adult users.

Placement will be based on the needs of the operations and your previous experiences.

Job responsibilities

The work varies depending on the operation but may include:

• Educational support in everyday life
• Personal care
• Cooking, laundry, and other everyday tasks
• Activities and social support
• Documentation and medication management according to delegation

Challenging and self-harming behaviors may occur in some of our operations.

Summer substitutes:

You need to be able to work according to a schedule for several consecutive weeks during weeks 25–33. In your application, you indicate when you can work. There is an opportunity to start as an hourly substitute before the summer.

As an hourly substitute, you work as needed and enter your availability yourself. Working hours vary between day, evening, weekend, and night depending on the operation.
