The working hours include daytime, evening, weekend, and sleeping on-call shifts on a rolling 4-week schedule. The work shifts vary according to the needs of the operation. Scheduling is done in the Time Care Planning system, and there is some opportunity to influence your schedule.

As a support assistant at Näckrosen/Villa Tveten, you work with children/youth in focus and are responsible, together with your colleagues in the operation, for implementing measures according to LSS decisions and SoL decisions.

Meetings, regular communication, and collaboration with relatives and various partners around the children/youth are obvious aspects of the work and something you are expected to handle professionally and proactively.
