We are now looking for a stable and mature residential support worker with a good approach to the LSS activity, currently placed at Måsen group home.

Apply now!

The Workplace

Måsen group home has six places and is located in Rundvik, Nordmaling Municipality. The residents of the group home belong to the LSS target group. Everyone has different functional variations and varying support needs. The staff group consists of employees who work day, evening, weekend, and night shifts.

We have full-time work as the norm in our LSS activities, which means that employees need to be able to work flexibly, preferably across all times of the day and at several workplaces with so-called resource shifts.

The Role and Responsibilities

The responsibilities include, among other things, personal care and delegated tasks from the municipality's HSL unit. The work places great demands on patience, the ability to see consequences, and the ability to interpret and clarify the residents' communication. We also work to give the residents an active leisure time, so daily outdoor activity and accompanying them to various activities are part of the job.

Your Profile

The requirements for you to work as a residential support worker are that you are educated as a nursing assistant, child care worker, or have other education or experience assessed as equivalent.

To be able to communicate with the residents, as well as write and read care/social documentation and receive medication delegation, you need good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written. You also need a valid B-driver's license.

Experience working with residents with functional variations and mental diagnoses is meritorious, as is knowledge and experience of low-affective approach. Knowledge of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) is meritorious as the residents use picture support in their daily lives.

The work may also involve handling threatening behavior or violent situations, which requires that you are calm, stable, can make decisions and maintain focus under pressure, and can treat individuals with respect even in challenging situations. Experience of similar situations is meritorious.

Your personality must match our residents' needs, so great importance is placed on personal suitability.

We are looking for you who:

• are positive, patient, and confident in yourself,
• have the ability to create calm and stability,
• have a good ability to work both independently and in a team,
• are engaged and interested in working with the residents' development based on their conditions and needs,
• have good cooperation skills and see opportunities instead of obstacles,
• do not have any physical limitations as heavy lifting occurs.

Approach is the keyword in the work with our residents within LSS. Having personal maturity means being able to see the consequences of your actions from a longer perspective before acting. You need to be stable and perceived as the same regardless of context and social demands. The residents' intellectual levels vary, and they need guidance in daily life and to feel safe. Our residents also need employees who pedagogically show and guide them so that daily life becomes understandable.

Independent work may sometimes occur at the workplace, which means that you are responsible for structuring, planning, and organizing the day's tasks. This requires that you are self-reliant and have a good ability to handle and solve problems that arise.

As an employee at a group home, you are part of a work team, which places demands on your ability to cooperate and build good relationships with colleagues. In the work, you also have contact with, among others, healthcare personnel, guardians, relatives, and day activities. Therefore, it is important that you are service-oriented and have a good ability to create and maintain professional relationships.

The residents' different functional variations require that you as staff have patience and endurance to varying degrees. You also need to have an empathetic ability and be able to put yourself in the residents' situation and how they feel, all to put the residents' well-being in focus. Different situations require different ways of acting, which means that you need to be able to be flexible as well as stable and stand firm in your actions.

Employment

Before employment within LSS, for work in the home of people with functional variations, an extract from the criminal record register must be presented in accordance with current legislation. The extract must be presented to the employer before the employment begins to ensure safety and security for our residents.
