Support Assistant to Televägen 1

Do you want to work closely with people and help improve their everyday lives? Then you could be our new support assistant at Televägen 1. Here, you will work in an environment where approach, structure, and collaboration are central parts of the mission.

We are looking for two support assistants for night shifts. Selection and interviews will be ongoing, so do not wait to apply.

YOUR ROLE

As a support assistant, you will support and help individuals based on their individual needs, wishes, and circumstances. The work is based on implementation plans and is carried out with clear pedagogical methods, structure, and a professional approach.

In this role, you will meet individuals who need security, predictability, and a calm approach. The work may involve situations where anxiety or emotional distress occurs, which requires you to work preventively, maintain calm, and use a low-arousal approach. You will assist and support in various everyday situations with respect, attentiveness, and stability. The work involves close collaboration with colleagues to create a safe and functional whole around the individual.

Two of the positions are night shifts (awake night) and five of the positions involve day work, on-call, and every other weekend. Night work will be introduced only after you have gotten to know the organization and the residents.

YOUR COMPETENCE AND EXPERIENCE

We are looking for someone with a high school education in health and social care or a child and youth program with a focus on pedagogical or social work, or other training that the employer deems equivalent. You have experience in work where support, service, adaptation, and a professional approach have been central parts of the mission.

You have good knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form and can communicate clearly as well as document in your work. A passing grade in Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1 is a requirement, as well as the physical ability to perform the tasks included in the assignment.

You have knowledge and understanding of disabilities and how they can affect an individual's daily life. You work systematically and consciously in your interactions with people and have experience with low-arousal approaches. You can adapt your approach based on different needs and situations.

Experience working with individuals with disabilities, mental health issues, or substance abuse is advantageous, as is experience with clear pedagogical methods. You are self-assured, can maintain calm in challenging situations, and contribute to a good collaborative climate. Knowledge of Finnish, Sámi, or sign language is a plus.

YOUR NEW WORKPLACE

Televägen 1 is a smaller, cohesive operation where several residents live in the same building. The operation is characterized by close collaboration, clear structures, and shared responsibility in everyday life.

The work focuses on preventive measures through relationship-building, structure, and a shared approach within the staff group. Everyday life can be both calm and active, with joint activities and daily tasks. Meals such as lunch and dinner are prepared together, and everyone in the workgroup helps out.

The operation is in a startup phase. The workgroup will consist of about ten employees who together staff the operation around the clock. Collaboration is characterized by close dialogue, shared responsibility, and continuity as a foundation.

GOOD TO KNOW

The position is subject to a requirement for a criminal record extract according to law. Before a possible job offer, you must present an extract from the criminal record for work with elderly persons or persons with disabilities. You are responsible for ordering the correct extract from the Police Authority.

We recruit based on competence, which means we focus on your experience, knowledge, and potential. Instead of a personal letter, you will answer a few questions when applying for the job and attach an updated CV.
