Kungälv Municipality is looking for respite caregivers for children and youth

Kungälv Municipality is looking for you who want to make a difference! We need professional and motivated staff to deliver welfare services of high quality. Here, commitment and professional service go hand in hand while you help influence people's everyday lives and society at large. A good workplace culture and support for your personal development are important to us. Your contribution matters!

Description

The purpose of the respite service in the home is to provide relief for parents of children and youth with various disabilities in their daily lives, on a one-time basis or regularly. This is done by temporarily supporting the child/youth in their home environment. Through respite, parents are enabled to dedicate time to their own activities during a granted number of hours/occasions.

Job Responsibilities

The caregiver's work is planned based on the needs identified in the caseworker's assessment. You should create safety, joy, and comfort for the person you support. As a caregiver, you work with the child/youth in their home or in the local area. This may involve playing, walking, playing games, crafting, or watching movies. It may also include personal care, dressing and undressing, support during meals, and more.

The work also includes collaboration with parents through regular dialogue and cooperation with the client through ongoing updates.

Before your definitive employment, you will meet the person/people you are intended to support and will also receive an introduction/shadowing.

Qualifications

As you will be working independently, it is required that you are a confident person with a strong work ethic and good communication skills.

A driver's license may be required.

We value if you have one of the following qualifications:

• Approved high school education from the Child & Leisure Program, Health and Care Program with a focus on disabilities, or trained support assistant.

It is an advantage if you have similar experience or other experience in care work.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities.
