15 positions available.

Job Responsibilities

We offer jobs within five different areas:

• Short-term accommodation for children and young people (LSS): We offer a safe environment with individually adapted activities.
• Group homes for adults (LSS): Support in daily life for people in their own apartments. We help with care, leisure activities, and social interaction. Communication also takes place using pictures, signs, and symbols.
• Service housing for adults (LSS): Support in daily life for people in their own apartments. Here, support is given according to the individual's needs. The goal is to create structure and security in daily life.
• Social psychiatry & housing support (SoL): Support for people with mental illness at home or in housing. Focus on daily tasks, conversations, and structure.
• Day activities & employment (LSS/SoL): We offer varied activities and tasks with a focus on health, community, and participation. Care may be included.

You will receive an introduction at your chosen workplace and shadow a regular employee to feel confident in your role before you start working.

Regardless of the activity, we offer varied work where you meet many people and have different tasks.

As a summer substitute within functional support, you help people of different ages have a meaningful and functional daily life when regular staff are sick or on leave. Tasks may include helping with morning routines, personal hygiene, going on excursions, and encouraging and motivating care recipients in their daily lives.

All planning is in your mobile phone, so it is clear what you are expected to do, but the job may involve encountering many different types of situations that were not planned from the start.

We are looking for summer substitutes who can work during the day, evenings, weekends, on-call sleeping shifts, or awake nights, depending on the needs of the activity and your availability.

Those who work during the night, whether awake or sleeping, contribute to creating security and continuity for our care recipients.

As an hourly substitute before, during, and after the summer, you are offered flexible and meaningful work where you can plan your availability via our booking system, Time Care Pool.
