With us, you can combine important tasks with a meaningful everyday life. Welcome to us!

Your Responsibilities

As a support assistant at Aspnäsvägen 120, you will work with individuals who have various types of disabilities. Your job involves ensuring safety and well-being for our clients. The tasks include caregiving work, such as assistance with meals, medication, and personal hygiene, daily chores, activities, and communication, always with the individual's needs at the center. You will document and work with implementation plans according to IBIC (individual's needs in focus) and collaborate closely with colleagues, relatives, and other partners. The work requires a calm, clear, and professional approach as well as the ability to adapt your support according to each person's circumstances.

Your Workplace

The mission of the Social Administration is to support municipal residents to live independently and ensure that all residents receive the support they are entitled to, within the framework of the Social Services Act and the Act on Special Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons (LSS). You will belong to the LSS department, which is responsible for ensuring that individuals with LSS decisions receive their services in-house.

Aspnäsvägen 120 is a group home located in Ullstämma with five clients. The target group is individuals with physical and/or intellectual disabilities. The residence is a detached villa with a garden and patio that we utilize when the weather permits.

We are ten colleagues who together create a safe and cohesive work environment where we always support each other. We have fun at work and help each other to make everyday life work. Working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, and weekends. You are employed at Aspnäsvägen, but since we collaborate with our neighboring operations at Blåbärsvägen and Bronsåldersgatan, you will also have the opportunity to work there as needed. We ensure that you receive a good introduction at all three locations!

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone with relevant training in caregiving, such as a nursing assistant, support assistant, or other training that we consider equivalent. Experience in support, care, and nursing is required, and it is an advantage if you have worked with individuals with physical and/or intellectual disabilities as well as assistive technology. Knowledge of low-arousal responses is a requirement, and it is advantageous if you also have knowledge of TSS (Signs as Support) and AAC (Alternative Augmentative Communication).

You should have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written, to communicate with clients, colleagues, relatives, and to document.

You are flexible and change-oriented, which means you can adapt to varying tasks and working hours. You enjoy working independently and take responsibility for your tasks. At the same time, you are a team player and value collaboration with colleagues to create a safe and cohesive work environment. Your empathetic ability makes it easy for you to understand and meet the needs of the clients, which is crucial for providing safe and caring support in their daily lives.
