We are now looking for a new colleague who wants to help create the best possible everyday life for our users.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a support assistant, you will work to support the user in their daily life by creating a comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful existence, as well as working preventively and in a structured manner. You provide professional support and strengthen each individual's self-esteem and belief in their own abilities - all work is based on the user's individually established implementation plan.

You will be involved in establishing and/or maintaining social networks. Your role also involves supporting users in developing their communication skills and sense of belonging, as well as providing support in social activities, both individually and in groups. The goal is to support full participation in society based on each person's individual wishes.

You will provide support in all everyday tasks such as planning, personal hygiene, clothing care, laundry, cleaning, nutrition, cooking, shopping, finances, medication, social training, culture, and leisure.

You belong to a team of support assistants and support pedagogues. You will work with social documentation in the documentation system Treserva and continuously follow up and revise implementation plans. We work with operationally adapted and flexible schedules. The needs are continuously adapted based on the needs of the operation, which means you need to be prepared to work during the day, evenings, and weekends.

We value your ideas and engagement, and together we create conditions for development and an independent life for our users.
