Vacant job

Unika LSS Care is opening a new residence in Mölndal, specially designed for individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Here, specialist expertise is combined with carefully designed environments to create the best possible conditions for safety and quality of life. The operation will open in the first quarter of 2026.

Sporredsvägen is located close to nature and in a secluded area with good access to community services but distanced from restaurants and grocery stores. This reduces external stimuli and contributes to a calm and stable environment, which is particularly important for individuals with PWS.

Do you want to be part of a learning organization? Unika has a network of operations aimed at individuals with PWS and offers ongoing supervision and training. Unika has its own PWS coordinator and collaborates with the PWS association in Sweden.

As a support assistant, you will work to provide individually tailored support to individuals with disabilities, aiming to promote their independence and well-being in everyday life. You will support users in their daily routines and activities, based on their needs and abilities, always using their personal implementation plan as a starting point.

We work with a salutogenic and pedagogical approach, focusing on each individual's unique strengths and resources. The goal is for users to achieve as much independence as possible and to live a meaningful life with high quality of life. As a support assistant, you will work based on clear pedagogical principles and low-arousal responses to create safety and predictability in users' daily lives. At the same time, we have a strong focus on working professionally and efficiently within the resources and budget of the operation.
