Vacant job

We are looking for a support assistant with a strong commitment to promoting independence and quality of life for children and young people in an LSS residential facility.

Your Role

As a support assistant, you will ensure that the interventions in the individual's implementation plan are planned, executed, evaluated, and developed as needed. The support measures are based on the children's/young people's individual needs to promote skills, integrity, participation, and self-determination.

You will also handle daily documentation in the Life Care system.

You will provide pedagogical support and assistance with personal care, meals, activities, cleaning, and laundry.

You will manage the maintenance of the facility's premises, cooking, and purchasing.

You are responsible for maintaining close and good cooperation with guardians, relatives, schools, and other professionals within healthcare.

Working hours are scheduled during the day, evening, night, and weekends.

Working in an LSS residential facility involves supporting the individual by guiding, structuring, and motivating them in daily life. Interventions vary based on the individual's needs. The work can range from simpler daily support, such as planning the week, managing household tasks, and accompanying them to leisure activities, to more extensive support in meeting basic needs.

Challenging situations may occur, so good knowledge of low-affective interaction is important.

In some cases, you will perform delegated healthcare interventions.

Your Experience

• You should have an adequate upper secondary education from the Child and Youth Programme, focusing on social work, pedagogical work, or Care and Nursing Programme with a specialization in disability or psychiatry, or other education deemed equivalent by the employer.
• You have good computer skills and are proficient in Swedish, both spoken and written.

Merits include:

• Previous experience working with children and young people with functional variations.
• Knowledge of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication).
• Knowledge and experience in low-affective interaction and clarifying pedagogy.

Is this you?

• You strive to maintain a positive work climate and actively promote open dialogue in the workplace.
• You are helpful, accommodating, and attentive to the needs of others.
• You are outgoing and proactive in professional and social contexts, taking initiative to build relationships and networks.

We Offer

You have the opportunity to plan and structure your work independently based on the assignment. You will actively participate in change and development work.

About the Workplace

We provide support to children, young people, and young adults with functional variations. The work is varied and highly developmental, as you will encounter a spectrum including intellectual disabilities, autism, and neurodevelopmental disorders (NPF) at the facility.

We offer environmental changes and recreation for the individual. Support is individually adapted and based on the individual's needs to guarantee good living conditions and a good life. It is built on our active interest and willingness to listen and understand. Through motivating and practical supportive measures, we help individuals meet and handle various situations in daily life with the goal of living as independently as possible based on their abilities. Support is provided both in the facility's premises and in everyday activities in the community.

Other Duties:

• Ensure quality of operations based on users' support needs.
• Continuous work regarding low-affective interaction and clarifying pedagogy.
