Vacant job

Are you a driven and structured person who wants to lead and develop the pedagogical work in the workplace? Then you are the support pedagogue we are looking for in our operations!

About the position

As a support pedagogue, you work to provide service recipients with support in their daily lives, combined with an extended responsibility to ensure that documentation, routines, action plans, and structures are followed and developed. This means you guide colleagues in different methods and approaches, as well as planning, implementing, evaluating, and analyzing work methods and approaches in the operation. You are also responsible for supporting and guiding staff in documentation in our Lifecare system, as well as drawing up, following up on, and developing service recipients' implementation plans.

There is one other support pedagogue at the facility, which means you have a close colleague with the same assignment to collaborate and cooperate with in daily work. Together, you contribute to developing the operation and supporting each other in the assignment.

As a support pedagogue, you work to strengthen the skills and personal development of service recipients, with a clear focus on their own participation and opportunity to influence their life situation. To ensure good living conditions for service recipients, we work based on a visual, individual, structured approach (VISA).

Examples of tasks:

• Guide colleagues in methods and approaches.
• Lead smaller training initiatives at APT or similar forums.
• Support and coordinate colleagues to become independent in drawing up and following up on implementation plans.
• Perform care interventions and tasks based on self-care and delegation.
• Coordinate collaboration with relatives and interdisciplinary teams.
• Introduce new employees and supervise students based on your professional role.
• Have good knowledge of and follow laws, policies, routines, guidelines, goals, and plans.
• Use operation systems and digital tools in work and document based on governing documents.
