Vacant job

In the care sector for people with disabilities, we work to create security, participation, and independence. We offer individually adapted support that strengthens each person's opportunity to live as independent a life as possible. Our main focus is on support for people with decisions under the LSS (Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments), but we can also provide support under the SoL (Social Services Act).

We are in an exciting phase of development following a major reorganization. It has been an intense period at times – but also developmental, educational, and full of new opportunities. Now we are building further together, and we are looking for you who want to contribute with commitment, new perspectives, and drive to our ongoing improvement work.

Our mobile teams in Visby consist of experienced and competent employees with broad knowledge and long experience in the field. Here there are good opportunities to develop, learn from each other, and contribute with your own perspectives in the daily work.

We are now looking for an engaged support pedagogue for our mobile team 2 in Northern Visby!

You also have knowledge of the division of responsibility between different social services. Knowledge of alternative communication is an advantage.

To thrive and succeed in the role, we see that you are stable and secure in your professional role, with good collaboration skills and an approach that contributes to a good work climate. The work requires pedagogical insight, where you can adapt your interaction based on the individual's needs. We also see that you are proactive and have a good holistic view in your work.

Furthermore, you need to be structured and work methodically, with the ability to plan and prioritize your work. A development-oriented approach is also important, as you are expected to contribute to the continued development of the operations.
