Do you want to be part of building something from the ground up? Now is your chance to become part of a brand new group home in the nature-rich area of Björklinge.

A newly built group home is now opening on Fölungevägen for individuals with LSS (Long-term Support for Persons with Disabilities) decisions. As a support assistant, you will have a unique opportunity to influence and shape the operations together with dedicated colleagues. Here, we work every day to create a safe, meaningful, and developmental daily life for our users.

Fölungevägen is a modern group home where users live in their own apartments within a single-story villa, with access to common areas and a pleasant garden.

Working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, sleeping on-call, and weekends.

Description of duties

As a support assistant, you play a central role in the daily lives of our users and work closely with them to provide support based on their individual needs. The work involves significant responsibility but also great opportunities to contribute to quality of life and independence.

Your duties include, among other things:

• Support with personal hygiene and nursing care
• Help with daily chores such as laundry, cleaning, and cooking
• Administration of medication
• Assistance with planning and accompanying users to activities and booked appointments
• Support in social situations
• Collaboration with relatives, healthcare services, and authorities
• Documentation in social journals and risk assessments
• Participation in follow-ups of interventions

The role also includes being a contact person for one to two users and being responsible for one or more ombudsman roles, such as fire safety, environment, or hygiene.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are trained as a nursing assistant, child care worker, or have other education that the employer deems equivalent. The position requires good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written, as the work involves documentation and communication with users and external contacts. Experience working with people with disabilities is meritorious, as is a B-driving license and knowledge of alternative and augmentative communication such as picture support, digital aids, or sign language.

As a person, you are flexible and adapt easily to changing circumstances. You have a good ability to put yourself in other people's perspectives and meet each individual with respect and sensitivity. You also have good communication skills and can adapt your way of conveying information according to the recipient's needs and conditions.
