About the job

We are now looking for two new colleagues to the housing facility with special support at Tuppfjätgatan! The facility is undergoing renovation and will be expanded with two apartments this autumn. We are looking for you who want to work with our target group, adults with acquired brain injuries. The needs of our tenants vary, ranging from care with full ADL (Activities of Daily Living) to more verbal support and guidance. The goal is for those living here to receive individualized support to live as independent a life as possible, where we promote health and rehabilitation.

The work as a support assistant involves providing the residents with individually adapted support through a low-affective approach, as well as encouraging and motivating them in daily rehabilitation and daily living. Some of the residents are in great need of care and need help with transfers. We work to stimulate leisure activities and offer our tenants, among other things, physical activities. We have close cooperation with the health care team consisting of a nurse, physiotherapist, and occupational therapist. The duties also include medication management according to delegation, social documentation in the Treserva system, and some other administrative tasks.

As a permanently assigned support assistant, you will have the opportunity to be a contact person for a user and to be responsible for your own area of responsibility, e.g., hygiene, assistive devices, or fire safety. All support assistants at our company are offered the opportunity for further internal education. We work with targeted training initiatives based on the needs we see in the operations.

There is established cooperation between the units in the scheduling group, and the work is scheduled for days, evenings, and two weekends out of four. The scheduling of working hours may change if the needs of the tenants change.
