Support Pedagogue with Special Responsibility Wanted

BmSS Sydväst 2 is looking for an engaged support pedagogue with special responsibility who wants to help develop the educational work in a psychiatric-focused operation.

You will work to improve quality and contribute to creating a safe, meaningful, and independent life for our tenants.

Job Responsibilities

As a support pedagogue, you have a methodological guidance role where you are responsible for supporting colleagues in educational work, developing work methods, and systematically working with follow-up, reflection, and competence enhancement. You are a role model in approach and attitude and lead the work with documentation, implementation plans, and educational interventions based on each individual's needs. This is done in collaboration with the unit manager and a colleague with the same assignment within Tretakten.

An important part of the assignment is to work with quality assurance based on applicable legislation and established routines. You lead operational meetings and drive improvement work based on deviations, documentation, and the user's situation, in close collaboration with the unit manager and other employees. You also participate in collaboration meetings with external actors to ensure coordinated and individualized support.

We are looking for someone with a strong pedagogical drive, who is confident in guiding others and has a structured and solution-focused working method. You are passionate about quality, user participation, and a professional approach at all levels. Working hours are during the day: Monday to Friday.

In addition to the local assignment, you will work together with a colleague within Tretakten on issues that require cross-unit coordination, such as method development, competence-enhancing initiatives, and common routines. You will also be part of a city-wide support pedagogue network, focusing on knowledge exchange, experience sharing, and strengthening the pedagogical mission in the city as a whole.

Qualifications

For the position of support pedagogue, a post-secondary specialization in the disability field is required, encompassing at least 200 YH points, 120 higher education credits, or a combination thereof equivalent to at least four semesters of full-time studies. Alternatively, 60 higher education credits and at least two years of experience working with support and services for people with disabilities. The education should have relevant credits in behavioral science, pedagogy, psychology, social work, and (psychiatric) care or other education.

Communication is an important part of the work. If you do not meet the qualification requirements in Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1, you may be offered to take a language test through the testing provider Educateit.

A requirement for performing the work is that you, as a candidate, must have at least 3 years of experience in guiding groups, as well as good computer skills and solid knowledge of social documentation. We also see that you have experience working with the psychiatric target group.

It is considered a significant plus if you have knowledge and experience in Motivational Interviewing (MI), Care and Support Coordination (VoSS), Individual Needs in Focus (IBIC), Independent Living (ESL), Low-Arousal Approach (LAB), and Clear Pedagogy.

We are looking for someone with a flexible working style and good communication skills.
