Description

Summer substitute position on a monthly contract.

Operations

Håljutegatan GB, Järvstigen SB, Banjovägen GB, and Loftvägens GB are housing units with special services for individuals with significant difficulties managing their daily lives due to mental disabilities and some co-occurring conditions. The operations are staffed 24/7 with shifts covering day, evening, full-day, sleeping on-call, and awake night shifts.

Support includes assistance in the individual's home but may also include social interventions, for example, to break isolation. The interventions aim to enable the individual to live as independently as possible, with the goal of managing their own housing.

Residential Support works with individually designed support adapted to the user's needs, which may involve support measures in the individual's home or in the form of more outward-facing social contact. Interventions are carried out together with the user to increase their functional ability, contribute to increased independence, and enable the user to remain in their home.

Residential Support working hours are scheduled on weekdays: 07:00-15:00, 08:30-16:30, and 13:00-21:00. Weekends may occur during one of the vacation periods but are shared among staff Sat-Sun 08:00-20:00. To work with us in Residential Support, a Class B driver's license is required.
