Vacant job

Unika LSS Omsorg has opened a new residence in Mölndal, specially adapted for individuals with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). Here, specialist competence is combined with thoughtfully designed environments to create the best possible conditions for security and quality of life. The facility opened during the first quarter of 2026.

Sporredsvägen 24 is located close to nature and in a secluded setting, with good access to public services but at a distance from restaurants and grocery stores. This reduces external stimuli and contributes to a calm and stable environment, which is particularly important for individuals with PWS.
