Vacant job

Do you want to work in an environment where every day makes a difference? We are now looking for engaged and responsible employees for our youth residence in Norby – a cozy home with four places. The house has three floors and a spacious garden, and is quietly located near Stadsskogen and Hågadalen, creating a safe and nature-friendly environment for both youth and staff.

At the residence, we take care of the house and garden together. The youth are welcome to participate if they wish, and you as an employee have an important role in creating safety, structure, and participation in everyday life.

We are looking for you who are sensitive, stable, and have a genuine commitment to the development of young people. With us, you have the opportunity to contribute to a safe and meaningful everyday life – and at the same time grow in your role.

As a housing support worker, you will work to offer a meaningful and predictable everyday life with a lot of structure for those living with us. We work purposefully based on the assignment plan, have a professional and salutogenic approach and working method while working based on the organization's resources and budget.

We adapt our work based on each individual's conditions and needs, and the starting point is the individual's personal implementation plan. Our goal is for the users to become as independent as possible, and we support them in using their own resources so that they can develop and have a good quality of life. Our working method involves a low-affective approach and clarifying pedagogy.

You are relationship-building, calm, stable, and can maintain a realistic perspective on situations that arise in daily work. You have good cooperation skills and relate to others in a sensitive way, and enjoy collaborating with others. You are an independent, humble, and responsible person who is passionate about care work and can see the individual's needs.
