Job Responsibilities

We are now looking for both summer and hourly substitutes for our Residential Services with a focus on psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, and social psychiatry.

Our operations are located in Hisingen and central parts of Gothenburg. Your placement will be determined based on the needs of the operations.

• Educational support in daily activities
• Personal care
• Assistance with household chores such as cooking and cleaning
• Medication management according to delegation
• Documentation of the client's needs and development

The work also involves encounters with challenging or self-harming behaviors as well as substance abuse issues. Therefore, we actively work with low-arousal approaches to create calm and safety.

As an hourly substitute, you will cover for the absence of regular staff in the operations. You will be offered flexible working hours scheduled for days, evenings, awake nights, and sleeping on-call during weekdays and weekends. You can manage your working hours by entering your availability and receiving work requests accordingly.
