About the position
The role of Work Instructor offers you a varied and eventful job where adaptation and change are always in focus. As a Work Instructor, you will contribute to further developing the activities within your respective area while having the opportunity to work in a creative environment. You will also collaborate with other colleagues and be involved in the overall work and planning for the entire centre. All staff members have a role as a contact person for one or more participants. The role of contact person includes, among other things, creating an implementation plan together with the participant and/or their representative regarding how and when support should be provided, as well as how we work together to achieve the participant's goals and sub-goals. The participants have functional variations covered under person group 1, such as intellectual disability, autism, or autism-like conditions. Additional diagnoses such as dyslexia, ADHD, ADD, Tourette's, and behavioral issues may also occur. We apply a six-month probation period. The position is a part-time role of approximately 90%. Working hours are during the day, Monday to Friday.

Who are you?
You need to enjoy change, be driven, and have good organizational and planning skills, as your work will involve creating schedules for the activities at both the individual and group levels. You must have the ability to share your knowledge in a pedagogical way and put the participants in the spotlight. Your work primarily involves instructing and guiding participants in their daily activities. You plan, initiate, drive, conclude, and follow up on processes and tasks related to textile and wood crafts, as well as providing support and service based on care decisions. Furthermore, you are service-oriented, have a professional attitude in all situations, and find it easy to collaborate with participants, relatives, colleagues, and other partners such as housing services and social workers. It is important that you can work independently but also collaboratively with others.
