Vacant job

We are now looking for reinforcement to our wonderful work group! With us, you will work together with your colleagues to support children and young people on the autism spectrum with intellectual disabilities. The support is tailored to the needs, wishes, and implementation plans of the young people. You are an important person for the youth and serve as support to offer them a safe, functioning, and meaningful everyday life.

The working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, weekends, and sleeping on-call shifts, so it is a requirement to be able to work irregularly.

Several positions are available in varying degrees of employment (80-100%) starting with a 6-month probationary period.

Collective agreements are in place.

About the workplace

Marielund LSS Tyringe is a residence with four places that accommodates children and young people aged 12-17 years on the autism spectrum with an intellectual disability covered by group 1 according to §1 LSS. The residence has one-to-one staffing, which means that the young people have access to their own staff. Marielund LSS always strives to offer the best care and support through genuine concern, commitment, and quality! With us, you get the opportunity to do that little extra; we help each other, support one another, and aim to be a place where both youth and staff can thrive together!

Job responsibilities

Your task is to support, activate, and guide children and young people in their daily lives. You, together with your colleagues, are responsible for planning, implementing, and documenting interventions.

As a support assistant, it is your task to fulfill the goals set in the implementation plan regarding self-determination, participation, and integrity for the individual youth. You perform everyday and planned support interventions based on the young person's individual needs and wishes in accordance with LSS.

You should contribute to creating a meaningful and safe everyday life where the activities are shaped according to the youth's strengths, interests, and needs. Care work is included. A large part of the job also involves ensuring that the young people's living environment is clean and tidy, with tasks such as laundry, cleaning, cooking, and gardening.

You need to have at least one year of experience in LSS and have worked with individuals with autism and/or clarification pedagogy.

Great importance is placed on personal suitability. In this position, you will support young people with disabilities who show high sensitivity and therefore place high demands on your responsiveness to their needs to feel well. You should thus have a low-arousal approach and understand challenging behavior.

The work involves a great deal of freedom of action, and it is required that you are independent and comfortable taking your own initiatives. You participate in finding solutions together with colleagues, are happy to contribute ideas, and work towards good collaboration and well-being in the work group.

Qualifications

Support assistant: you need to have a vocational degree from the health and care program, the child and leisure program, or another equivalent education that the employer assesses as comparable.

Education and/or experience in clarification pedagogy.

Education and/or experience in low-arousal approach.

Experience in meeting individuals with challenging behavior.

Good knowledge of LSS.

Experience in social documentation.

Good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.

A driving license (B) is required.

When you apply for a job with us, we will ask you to submit an extract from the Police's criminal record.

Email your CV and cover letter. Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis.
