Job Description

Working within the LSS (Act on Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) area means you will work in one of our operations, such as group homes, day activities, short-term housing for children, or personal assistance. Working in these operations is an important task that, by law, guarantees that people with extensive and long-term disabilities have good living conditions. Individuals should receive the help they need in daily life and have the opportunity to influence the support and service they receive. The goal is for the individual to have the opportunity to live like others.

As a support assistant in our various LSS operations, the work consists of supporting an individual with disabilities. This ranges from assisting with meals, performing care tasks, helping with personal hygiene, medication management, participating in activities, to motivating the individual to become more independent in their daily activities. The foundation of the job is to support the individual in developing or maintaining their own abilities.

It is important that you have a calm demeanor, a pedagogical approach, and a solution-focused mindset with the individual's best interests at heart. In addition to these qualities, we look for someone who is sensitive, responsible, able to set boundaries, and confident in themselves. You must be able to work both in a team and independently, communicating and collaborating with other staff and the families of the individuals. You need to work in a structured manner and be able to handle documentation in our various systems.

Our various operations are located in Lenhovda, Norrhult, Åseda, and Alstermo.

Qualifications

You who apply should be interested in working with people, be flexible, and responsible.

Education and/or experience in the respective work area, as well as a driver's license, are merits. A driver's license is required in some cases to get to the workplace and to drive as part of the job.

Since documentation is part of your duties, it is important that you master the Swedish language in both speech and writing.

The vacation period is during June, July, and August. We prioritize applicants who can work during both vacation periods (weeks 26-29 and weeks 30-33). A mandatory introduction will take place before the summer temporary position begins.

• Salary: Hourly wage
• Employment type: Summer job / Vacation work
• Duration: 11 days – 3 months
• Working hours: According to schedule. Our operations run 24/7, every day of the week, so you may work days, evenings, weekends, or nights.

If you are considered for employment, the employer will request a certificate from the Swedish Enforcement Authority (police record). The Municipal Executive Board has decided that all new hires must provide a police record before employment. The certificate required is for work within schools or preschools.

To ensure quality in the recruitment process at Uppvidinge Municipality and to enable good communication with our applicants, we ask you to submit your application digitally, not via email or paper format.

Regarding recruitment channels and marketing, Uppvidinge Municipality has taken a stand. We therefore explicitly decline contact with media sellers, recruitment agencies, and similar services.
