Care for People with Disabilities

In Region Gotland, you can develop and grow, both as an individual and together with others. When you work with us, you contribute to making Gotland an even better place for people in all walks of life. We make each other better.

At our group home, we support individuals with various disabilities in their daily lives.

Our goal is to facilitate the practical aspects of life and provide support so that each user can live as independently and meaningfully as possible, while feeling secure and being involved in their daily routines.

We are now looking for a new colleague for our group home on Stationsgatan in Slite. Here, you will work in a team of six dedicated and competent staff members where it is natural to support and learn from each other. We have a safe working environment and a close collaboration with our other group home in the area, which provides additional resources and opportunities for joint development.

Your Responsibilities

As a support assistant/residential assistant, you will, among other things:

• Work together with colleagues using IBIC (Individual Needs in Focus) as a foundation.
• Support, motivate, and assist users in their daily lives, as well as interpret and clarify everyday situations based on individual needs.
• Adapt interventions according to the users' varying needs, from extensive care to educational support and guidance.
• Work from a pedagogical approach with a clear, structured method and low-arousal responses.
• Provide practical and educational support during social activities, household chores, personal care, and transfers.
• Participate in the quality development of the organization, meetings, training, and supervision.
• Have case management responsibilities, which include establishing and revising implementation plans, documenting, and maintaining contact with relatives as well as representatives/guardians.
• Document and record in a safe and accurate manner.
• Work according to a basic schedule with day, evening, and weekend shifts, as well as on-call duties.

Who Are You?

We prefer that you have completed a secondary education with a focus on care and nursing, children and leisure, or are trained as a social pedagogue and/or personal assistant. A valid driver's license (B) is a requirement.

It is an advantage if you have previously worked in care for individuals with disabilities and have experience with challenging behaviors and low-arousal responses.

As a person, you are flexible and can adapt to different situations. You are clear and service-oriented with a focus on quality, self-driven but value collaboration with colleagues, and possess a personal maturity that makes you feel secure in your professional role. You are also proficient in the Swedish language, both spoken and written, as all communication and documentation are conducted in Swedish.

We see that you share the intentions of LSS regarding a humanistic view of people and values and strive for respectful and good interactions in all situations.

Warm welcome to your application!
