About the job

Do you want to make a difference for women in acute homelessness? Alma is an emergency shelter for women aged 21 and over. We accept placements around the clock. The women placed at Alma are in acute homelessness, often combined with substance use, exposure to violence, mental health issues, etc. There is no requirement for sobriety or drug-free status at our facility. Since one of Alma's night treatment assistants is on parental leave, we are looking for a replacement for her.

As a night treatment assistant, you will work to provide secure support for the women placed with us. You will work closely with the rest of the staff, and the ability to collaborate is crucial for us to carry out our mission together. At Alma, we use proven methods such as MI, LAB, ÅP, and TMO. We constantly strive to increase our knowledge and adapt our working methods to the needs of the users. At Alma, there is a method supervisor with coordination responsibilities and a unit manager during daytime hours. The staff group consists of 9 treatment assistants (day/evening/weekend) and 4 treatment assistants (night). The entire group has regular external supervision and joint APT (Annual Performance and Development Review) meetings.

We are proud to be a workplace where we support each other and promote collaboration and development. We are looking for you who want to make a real difference and who have a genuine interest in our target group. We see hope and opportunities in every individual and constantly strive to adapt our operations to their needs. Due to the needs of the target group, the staff group at Alma consists of women. The selection will be made continuously, so do not hesitate to submit your application!
