About the Group Home on Norra Järvstavägen

Unika has 200 LSS (Acts Supporting and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) operations, and Norra Järvstavägen was recently awarded Unika's Best Operation across the entire company. We are incredibly proud of our excellent results and the fact that everyone enjoys working here. If you are looking for a workplace that constantly pushes boundaries and lives our values every day, Norra Järvstavägen is the place for you. Here, high-performing, wise, and experienced employees work with joy and professionalism. The building is newly constructed, thoughtfully designed, and furnished with care by the staff. One of our valued colleagues is looking for new challenges elsewhere, so we need to complement the team with the right skills.

The operation is located in a quiet area in Bomus in a thoughtfully chosen location. Within a few hundred meters, you have access to most services such as a health centre, pharmacy, dentist, shop, kiosk, parcel pickup, restaurant, and more. The staff primarily consists of employees with long experience, extensive knowledge, and high job satisfaction. Norra Järvstavägen is a well-functioning operation with good structure and routines. We actively work with nutrition and health issues for the individual residents and provide regular supervision and training. In recent user surveys, all individuals have stated that they are 100% satisfied.

Everyone living with us is offered individual support, service, and good care to live as independent a life as possible. The operation serves 6 individuals in personal group 1 and offers housing with special service according to Section 9, Chapter 9 of the LSS Act.

About the Role of Support Assistant

As a support assistant, you will work to provide individually adapted support to people with disabilities, with the goal of promoting their independence and well-being in daily life. You will support individuals in their daily routines and activities based on their needs and abilities, always using their personal implementation plan as a starting point.

We work with a salutogenic and pedagogical approach, starting from each individual's unique strengths and resources. The goal is for individuals to achieve as much independence as possible and to live a meaningful life with high quality of life. As a support assistant, you work based on clarifying pedagogy and low-affective interaction to create security and predictability in the daily lives of the individuals. At the same time, we focus strongly on working professionally and efficiently within the operation's resources and budget. The operation's well-developed working methods place high demands on you as an employee to follow routines, your ability to work digitally, and your ability to express yourself structured in text. You work independently with your own areas of responsibility.
