Support Assistant at Kompassgatan 4

The Disability Care Services in Umeå Municipality aims to be a resource that liberates and strengthens people's ability to live an independent life through proximity and interaction.

Here, you will be part of something meaningful every day; it is a job where you meet people who give back at least as much as you invest – often even more.

Kompassgatan 4 is a group home for individuals with intellectual disabilities, accommodating six people, located in the scenic Tavleliden. Each resident has their own apartment and receives support and assistance from staff based on their individual needs. The living environment is one where respect and humanity are paramount, allowing individuals to develop at their own pace.

We are now looking for a Support Assistant!

You will guide and support individuals with intellectual disabilities in their daily lives.
