Job Description

As a support assistant, you work to support the resident in their daily life by creating a comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful existence, as well as by working preventively and systematically. You provide professional support and strengthen each individual's self-esteem and belief in their own abilities – all work is based on the resident's individually created implementation plan.

You are involved in establishing and/or maintaining social networks. Your role also involves supporting residents in developing their communication skills and sense of belonging, as well as providing support in social activities, both individually and in groups. The goal is to support full participation in society based on each person's individual wishes.

You provide support in all common daily tasks such as planning, personal hygiene, clothing care, laundry, cleaning, diet, cooking, shopping, finances, medication, social training, culture, and leisure.

You belong to a work group with support assistants and support pedagogues. You work with social documentation in the documentation system Treserva and continuously follow up and revise the implementation plans. We work with operation-adapted and adjustable schedules. The need is continuously adapted to the operation's needs, which means you need to be prepared to work during the day, evening, and weekends.

We value your ideas and commitment, and together we create conditions for development and an independent life for our residents.
