Support Educator for LSS Group Home at Melodivägen 1

Do you want to work closely with people while having a clear mission to develop quality and work methods? We are now looking for a support educator for our LSS group home at Melodivägen 1.

YOUR ROLE

As a support educator, you have specialized competence and extended responsibility within the workgroup. You serve as support for colleagues in creating a holistic view of the individual, focusing on development, participation, and coordination. In addition to the responsibilities and tasks that are part of the assignment for all employees, you systematically work to ensure quality and develop the operations from both an individual and group perspective.

You contribute pedagogical depth to the work, support in methodological questions, and ensure that implementation plans, documentation, and working methods maintain high quality. In your daily work, you are close to the users and combine pedagogical support with lighter care tasks. You are a role model in approach, structure, and professional demeanor, contributing to a safe and developing work climate.

At the same time, a specialist nursing assistant is being recruited for the nearby Melodivägen 5. Together, the idea is that you will form a team focused on quality and development in both operations. This means that your primary placement will be at Melodivägen 1, but you will also partially work at Melodivägen 5.

YOUR COMPETENCE AND EXPERIENCE

We are looking for someone with post-secondary education in the field, corresponding to at least 200 YH points or 60 higher education credits with a focus on disabilities. Your education should have a clear connection to work with intellectual, cognitive, or mental disabilities and may include ethical approaches, pedagogical theories and methods, alternative and augmentative communication, cognitive support, or coaching approaches.

You have experience working with individuals with physical, mental, or intellectual disabilities, or mental health issues, and are confident in adapting your support based on the individual's needs and circumstances. You have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written, and can absorb information, communicate clearly, and document according to applicable requirements. You can provide proof of passing grades in Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1. You also have the physical capacity to perform the tasks included in the assignment.

It is advantageous if you have experience mentoring students, interns, or new colleagues, as well as working with pedagogical methods such as clear working methods and alternative communication methods.

As a person, you are structured and work according to a clear process where you plan, organize, and complete your tasks. You are results-oriented and driven to achieve set goals with quality. You are confident in your professional role, remain steady even in uncertain situations, and have the courage to speak up when necessary. At the same time, you are creative and see opportunities in everyday life, find new solutions, and contribute ideas that develop the operations. You are collaborative and have an unpretentious approach where you work towards common goals and a good work climate.

YOUR NEW WORKPLACE

Melodivägen 1 is one of Skellefteå's oldest group homes and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The operation includes five users and a workgroup that works closely to create a safe and well-functioning environment. Here, pedagogical work is combined with practical everyday tasks as well as joint and individual activities. With us, meals are prepared from scratch, and everyday life is shaped together with the users, focusing on participation and the individual's needs. We place great importance on structure, communication, and participation, and actively work with pedagogical tools to create understanding and independence in daily life. With us, you will have the opportunity to influence and develop working methods in an operation where the individual is always at the center.

GOOD TO KNOW

The position is a permanent employment. The work involves day, evening, and weekend shifts according to a schedule.

We recruit based on competence and focus on your experience, knowledge, and potential. Instead of a personal letter, you will answer a few selection questions and attach an updated CV. Psychological tests are used as part of the recruitment process.
