About the operations

A respectful and pedagogical approach is a matter of course with us. We work, among other things, with ESL (Independent Life), MI (Motivational Interviewing), AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), and LAB (Low-Arousal Approach).

The unit also has a support pedagogue who, together with the work group, drives and develops the pedagogical work forward.

About the role

As a support assistant, you help create structure, security, and opportunities in people's daily lives. You work closely with the tenants and always base your work on the individual's needs, abilities, and interests.

You support the tenants in their daily lives and work to strengthen self-determination, participation, and good quality of life. The goal is for every person to have the best possible conditions to live an independent and meaningful life.

As a support assistant, you provide support with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry, while simultaneously motivating and enabling an active and meaningful leisure time based on the individual's wishes and needs. You work based on implementation plans and individually set goals, and document according to current guidelines. The role also includes being a contact person, collaborating with relatives, and other actors in the individual's network.

The courses should be within behavioral science, pedagogy, psychology, social work, and (psychiatric) nursing or other education that the employer deems equivalent.

Communication is an important part of the work, which means you need to have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written. If you do not meet the qualification requirements in Swedish 1, Swedish as a Second Language 1, or equivalent, you may be offered to take a language test via the test provider Educateit.

We would like you to have knowledge of and experience with several of the following methods: LAB (Low-Arousal Approach), AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), IBIC (Individual Needs in Focus), ESL (Independent Life), and MI (Motivational Interviewing).

We are looking for you who take responsibility for your own and the group's tasks. You think about those we are here for and their best interests.
