Lerum Municipality is looking for substitute workers for LSS operations

Lerum Municipality is known for its scenic locations with lakes and forests. The municipality has 3,200 employees and 43,000 residents but expects to grow significantly in the coming years. Lerum is only a 20-minute commute from Gothenburg and is currently undergoing an intensive development period with many exciting projects underway, ranging from schools to housing. The municipality works to ensure both good service, high welfare, and a thriving business climate.

Recently, Dagens Samhälle awarded Lerum the title of winner in the category of metropolitan municipalities (2025) - an award based on a comprehensive comparison of 290 Swedish municipalities in areas such as education, healthcare and social services, economy, culture and leisure, attractiveness, business, and future factors such as digitalization and civil preparedness. We are now a Super Municipality!

We are looking for substitute workers for Lerum Municipality's LSS operations.

As a substitute worker with us, you will be employed through Lerum Municipality's Staffing Unit. The assignments apply when regular staff are absent, which can be both for shorter shifts and longer substitutes.

This is how it works:

You will be intermittently employed (as a substitute) and receive ongoing requests for work shifts - sometimes with short notice (the same day), sometimes with longer notice. You indicate your availability in our digital booking system, where you can also express interest in specific shifts.

Working hours:

The shifts are scheduled for days, evenings, and sleeping on-call, weekdays and weekends. The earliest a shift can start is at 7:00 AM and ends no later than 10:30 PM.

If you have previous work experience in support and care, there is an opportunity to work awake at night.

Introduction

Before your first shift, you will be introduced by a supervisor at the workplace, where you will learn about tasks, routines, and the needs of the users. You will also complete online training. If medication management is part of the tasks, you will need to undergo training in medication delegation.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Do you want a meaningful job where you make a real difference in people's lives? At our LSS accommodations, you work with individuals who have intellectual, physical, neuropsychiatric, or mental disabilities. Together, we create a safe and valuable everyday life for each individual on their terms.

About the role

You provide both practical and pedagogical support in everyday life. You work closely with care recipients based on their individual needs, wishes, and circumstances. Your work contributes to increasing quality of life, participation, and independence.

Your main job responsibilities include:

• Social care and conversations
• Personal hygiene and care (such as showering and toilet visits)
• Household chores such as cleaning and laundry
• Medication management according to delegation
• Health and medical tasks in consultation with a nurse
• Documentation in the digital system Treserva

QUALIFICATIONS

Who are you?

To thrive in the role, we see that you are a calm and stable person who enjoys working both independently and in a team. You are responsible, attentive to others' needs, and have a good ability to meet people in different life situations with respect and commitment.

You have a genuine interest in the individual, and your empathetic ability combined with your understanding of people's integrity helps create a safe, meaningful, and dignified everyday life for our care recipients.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability. If you have relevant education in healthcare and social services, or a child and leisure program with a focus on social work, it is an advantage. Previous experience in healthcare and social services is also a plus.

Since documentation and collaboration are important parts of the work, you must have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.

In some operations, a manual B driver's license is required.

Important to know:

Before employment can be offered, you need to present a valid extract from the Police Authority's criminal record. You order it yourself via the police's website. When you submit your application, you will receive a link with instructions in the auto-reply.
