About the workplace

Housing support extends throughout the municipality, and we are therefore grouped into four different area groups around Huddinge - Vårby/Masmo, Skogås/Trångsund, Flemingsberg/Visättra, and Other Huddinge. The staff primarily works from their main area but also covers other areas as needed. The work in the different area groups is closely coordinated to provide users with the highest quality support possible. Daily planning is done in consultation between team leaders and employees, and there are great opportunities for participation and influence. The interventions take place Monday to Sunday, and support should be available between 07:00 and 22:00. However, most shifts are currently scheduled within the time frame of 10:00 to 20:00.

By autumn 2026, our operations will grow and double in size, and we are now looking for eight new support assistants who want to join us on this journey. We are a wonderful and dedicated team that is passionate about providing our users with the highest quality support.

About the job

Housing support is a practical, pedagogical, and social intervention provided in the individual's own home and carried out together with the user. The purpose is to strengthen the user's ability to manage daily life, increase independence, and enable continued residence in their own home, as well as to have a functioning daily life connected to the home. Support is individually tailored based on the user's abilities and can include motivation, social training, accompaniment, and lighter practical support depending on needs. The intervention is based on voluntariness, and the work is carried out according to the established goals in the implementation plan made together with the user based on the authority's order. The target group for the intervention is adults who fall under one of the categories in LSS, where many of our users have neuropsychiatric disabilities, or are over 65 years old and have a mental disability.

About you

Requirements:

We are looking for someone with a relevant high school education in either healthcare and social care or with a pedagogical focus. You should have at least one year of experience with the target group within LSS and/or within social psychiatry. You must be proficient in the Swedish language, both spoken and written. You have good technical skills in both computer and mobile usage and good knowledge of social documentation in the work with implementation plans and record-keeping.

Meritorious:

You need to be good at building relationships and have a responsive and adaptable approach. You have good pedagogical skills and can work in a motivating manner. Since we are the user's support in creating and maintaining various authority contacts, you also need to have good knowledge of the various support measures in society. Previous work within housing support and mapping of skills is considered highly meritorious. You have a genuine interest in the field and will contribute your own ideas to develop our operations.
