Support Assistant Wanted at Kungsgården Service Housing!

Are you secure, empathetic, and able to meet individuals based on their prerequisites? Do you thrive in a varied role where you act as a support both at home and during various activities? We are looking for a Support Assistant for Kungsgården Service Housing. We seek you with relevant education, good knowledge, and experience working in LSS activities (LSS - Act on Support and Service to Certain Persons with Disabilities). We advocate for a low-affective approach characterized by openness, lack of hierarchy, and reflection.

This is a service housing environment shaped by the core principles of LSS: participation, self-determination, and independence, with the right to live a life as similar to everyone else's as possible.

Job Responsibilities

Working as a Support Assistant gives you the opportunity to make a difference in other people's lives. The tasks include motivating, supporting, and helping the individual in all daily situations, both at home and outside. This means facilitating daily life for the individual and providing support in social contexts. We will work based on a clarifying pedagogy by maintaining structure according to the implementation plan created in collaboration with the individual.

We always strive for our users to become as independent as possible based on their prerequisites. In our work, we always start from the individual themselves and what they desire for the day, the week, or life in general, which then forms the basis for our joint approach towards that specific individual.

In the role of Support Assistant, you will have a varied job that involves close collaboration with Municipal Rehabilitation, healthcare personnel, psychiatry, and habilitation. You will have the opportunity to develop our operations and activities, as we actively work with implementation plans where our interventions are directed at the individual through goals that are continuously followed up in collaboration with other professions.

Requirements for the role:

• Relevant education focusing on disability, social work, treatment assistant, or other education/experience deemed equivalent by the employer
• Documented experience working with individuals with intellectual disabilities within LSS/Psychiatry/SoL (Act for Support and Service)
• Knowledge and experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum and comorbidity
• Good ability to work with documentation and implementation plans, as well as experience using computers as a work tool
• Good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written
• Experience using various computer systems

Personal Attributes

As a person, we would like you to be calm, empathetic, and clear in your communication. You have a high work ethic, are solution-focused and independent, take personal responsibility for your work, and can meet the individual's needs through a balance of structure and flexibility. You have the ability to adapt your working style to the situation. You have good cooperation skills, are open to development, and creative in finding new ways to increase the user's participation, independence, and communication. We also look for someone with a coaching approach who values everyone equally. We strive for the work group to function as a team where everyone works towards set goals, helps each other, and shares responsibility.

Great importance will be placed on personal suitability.

• Education or in-depth experience with various diagnoses within LSS/SoL and/or psychiatry
