We are looking for someone with good knowledge of both spoken Swedish and sign language, as we work with users who use both modes of communication. The ability to communicate with all our users, regardless of their communication needs, is of great importance.

In the role, you support our users with individually adapted assistance such as shopping, cooking, care, and cleaning. Various leisure activities are regularly organized together, and for users who wish, we also provide individual support for activities. Through pedagogical support, alternative communication, and care, you and the work team work to provide users with good living conditions and independence.

The duties also include developing implementation plans, documenting, and conducting regular evaluations. As a contact person, you will collaborate and communicate with parents, relatives, guardians/administrators, and colleagues.

Working hours are days, evenings, and every other weekend, with a full-time equivalent of 36.33 hours/week.

We are looking for someone with updated and documented experience in Swedish Sign Language, and who is hearing. We would appreciate it if you have previous experience working with this target group.

If you have approved grades from the Care and Nursing program, Child and Youth program, Support Pedagogy education, or other education that the employer deems equivalent, it is an advantage.

You need to have good knowledge of the Swedish language in speech and writing, as well as basic knowledge of digital work tools.

About us

The unit is a service apartment located in central Lund.

The focus of the operation is on NPD diagnoses, where some of our users are deaf and communicate using sign language.
