You will be part of the pedagogical network established in the district where educators meet to discuss current issues. You will also have close cooperation with the support educator at Bolleskärsgatan 60 as the operations collaborate. Job tasks also include providing tenants with individually tailored support in their daily lives. You stimulate and support them to participate in leisure activities and community life. You work in a motivating, coaching manner and create conditions for structure, participation, and self-determination based on each person's abilities.
