Job Responsibilities

We are now looking for a support assistant to BmSS Finlandsvägen, which is focused on psychiatry and located in Tuve.

The residence is newly built and was completed in January 2022. Proximity to the city center and public transport makes it easy to travel to and from the unit.

As a support assistant, you will work both independently and together with your colleagues to support the tenants in their home environment and contribute to a good and independent life as possible. Solo work may occur. Your work with the tenants includes organizing leisure activities both on and off the premises, performing health and medical care tasks by delegation, collaborating with the professional network around the tenant, and assisting with cooking, laundry, cleaning, and personal hygiene. Together with the workgroup, you will establish, implement, and follow up on routines, action plans, and activity descriptions. This way, we all become better at understanding needs and providing the right support.

You will work on a schedule, and your working hours will be during the day and evening as well as weekends. Some of the work may take place in other activities. We plan the scheduled time in TimeCare.

We offer a rewarding and varied job with the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives.

Alternatively, 60 university credits and at least two years of experience working with support and service for people with disabilities. The education should have relevant credits in behavioral science, pedagogy, psychology, social work, and (psychiatric) care or other education that the employer deems equivalent.

Communication is an important part of the work, which requires that you have passed Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1. If you do not meet the qualification requirements in Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1, you may be offered to take a language test through the testing user Educateit.
