Welcome to us

Group homes and service apartments LSS are part of the department for Disabilities, Social Psychiatry, and Elderly Care in the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration.

The operation currently includes 16 residences with special services for adults according to LSS.

With us, we work to ensure that each user receives the support, care, and treatment that creates the conditions for a good and meaningful life. In the units, adults with disabilities live in their own apartments with opportunities for social interaction in shared spaces. Our mission is to offer support and service based on the individual’s needs and wishes, and we actively work to promote equality and full participation in community life for the users. The work is characterized by a pedagogical approach, a structured working method, and a low-arousal and respectful attitude towards users and colleagues.

We are now looking for you who want to work in one of our group homes this summer.

The work involves supporting, motivating, and guiding users in their daily lives, as well as clarifying and structuring activities based on their individual needs. The assignment also includes providing care and service and collaborating with the user’s network, such as relatives and other professionals.

The work can be physically demanding and requires good physical ability and endurance to provide users with the support they need. Working hours are scheduled with day, evening, night, and weekend shifts according to a rolling schedule during the summer, with the possibility of extra work after the summer season.
