Vacant job

Emyhemmet Short-Term Accommodation is a short-term residence for adults with mental health issues who do not have a functioning home, where we offer support in daily life. This involves activities such as needs assessment, motivating support to establish structure in everyday life through an Action Plan established based on assignments from the social psychiatry authority, with the goal of achieving a more permanent living situation that suits the individual. Emyhemmet Short-Term Accommodation is located in Överenhörna, about a 25-minute drive or bus ride from central Södertälje. The accommodation consists of 12 rooms, one of which is an emergency room with a washbasin. Residents share toilets and showers. We are an experienced team consisting of a unit manager, group leader, and 9 rehabilitation assistants. The rehabilitation assistants work on a rolling 9-week schedule, covering days, evenings, nights with on-call duty, and weekends.
 

Your Responsibilities

Your responsibilities include working with clients and colleagues to assess needs, create an action plan, plan, implement, and follow up on the work. We use evidence-based methods recommended by the National Board of Health and Welfare and approaches such as ESL, CAN assessment, BAS, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). As a Rehabilitation Assistant, you will coordinate for 2-3 residences, where you and the client are the hub for their planning efforts based on the assignment.
