Vacant job

Göteborg City Mission is a non-profit, values-driven organization working to support people living in vulnerable situations. Together, we aim to create a Gothenburg where everyone is included. A city where we meet the person, not the problem.

ABOUT US

We are currently looking for a meal assistant/chef for Öjersjöhemmet, located in Partille Municipality. The residence is beautifully situated in a quiet area near Öjersjö center.

The City Mission's drug-free residence in Öjersjö offers 21 places distributed across 14 rooms and 7 apartments. Our target group consists of adults aged 21 and over with harmful substance use/addiction who lack housing and/or need psychosocial support in some form. Our operations are staffed with housing assistants, coordinators, unit managers, and a housekeeper/chef. The facility operates 24/7, with two staff members on sleeping duty during the night. The residence offers a calm and harmonious environment focused on supporting individuals toward stable drug-free living, a more sustainable life situation, and increased independence and quality of life, based on individual needs.

We work using Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a method and have a relapse-preventive approach. We offer our residents opportunities for various activities such as wellness programs, theme groups, AA/NA meetings, and link meetings for those working on their sobriety. Our garden provides space for ball sports and barbecue evenings. Weekend activities are planned together with our residents and can include bowling, fishing, shopping trips, and more. The residence's proximity to beautiful nature invites relaxing walks and swimming.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We also help each other with other tasks in the house. All in the aim of creating a good living environment for the residents.
