Vacant job

We are now looking for several dedicated housing support workers who wish to work as hourly substitutes and holiday substitutes during regular staff leave. There is an opportunity to work both day, evening, weekend, and wakeful night shifts. This is a perfect assignment for you who want to contribute to safety and stability for people in vulnerable situations. With us, you can have a meaningful side job, gain valuable knowledge and experience working with people in social vulnerability and addiction issues – a merit regardless of whether you are studying in the field or want to develop in your professional role.

About the role

We run the housing facility on behalf of Linköping Municipality. The activity is aimed at adults experiencing homelessness with ongoing substance use, mental illness, and/or co-occurring disorders. The facility has 25 apartments and 8 emergency beds. As a housing support worker, you are an important part of the participants' daily lives. You provide supervision and support based on each individual's needs, work proactively and motivationally, and are a support on the path to greater independence. At the same time, you contribute to reducing the harmful effects of substance abuse and mental illness. You are present in the daily routine, provide guidance, and ensure that the facility's rules are followed for everyone's safety. The work is based on the individual's implementation plan and involves close collaboration with colleagues and external actors. Documentation is a natural part of your work, and you work systematically to ensure quality and adherence to routines. Together with colleagues, you create a safe, professional, and meaningful environment for our residents.

Who are you?

You have a genuine commitment to social work and a desire to make a difference – both for the individual and society at large. You share our values and believe in everyone's right to a dignified life. We are looking for you who create safety and calm, and who find it easy to build good relationships. You are empathetic, clear in your communication, and confident in setting boundaries. Since our participants' needs vary, it is important that you are flexible, solution-oriented, and have good self-awareness. You enjoy collaborating but have no problem taking initiative when the situation requires it. You have a structured, responsible, and professional approach to work, and you document in a correct and clear manner.

We are looking for you who have:

• Ongoing or completed education as a treatment pedagogue, social pedagogue, or other education that the employer deems equivalent.
• Documented knowledge and/or experience of working with addiction issues, mental illness, and functional variations.
• Experience of journaling/documentation.
• A valid driver's license (Category B).

It is meritorious if you have education in relapse prevention (RP), Motivational Interviewing (MI), low-affective handling, and/or ESL (an independent life). We place great emphasis on personal fit.

Are you ready to make a difference? Apply as soon as possible, recruitment is ongoing!
