Job Description

Do you want to work in a business where people's development, participation, and quality of life are at the center? Do you have a passion for pedagogy, interaction, and creating conditions for an independent life? Then you might be the person we are looking for!

At our facility, we operate on the principle that every tenant should be involved and able to influence their daily life based on their own conditions and needs. Our goal is to create security, development, and opportunities for as independent a life as possible – always grounded in good care.

Through individual implementation plans, clear goals, and regular house meetings, we create a meaningful and developmental everyday life for our tenants together. We actively work with health-promoting measures and encourage physical activity, while also valuing a positive work environment. We believe in the motto: If we feel good, our tenants feel good.

As a Support Pedagogue, you will become an important part of the business's development and quality assurance. You will work closely with the unit manager, the municipality's method developer, and other support pedagogues within the municipality. Together, you will drive development work and create good conditions for both tenants and the work group.

• Work with implementation plans and follow-ups.
• Collaborate with relatives, guardians, and other partners.
• Contribute to the business's development and improvement work.
