Vacant job

The position is located within the Social Services Administration, which is one of eight administrations in Linköping Municipality. The Social Services Administration is responsible for authority exercises, ordering of measures, and own management within the areas of individual and family care, LSS (Support and Service Act for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments), and social psychiatry. We ensure that all residents receive the support they are entitled to.

Do you want to improve the everyday life, future, and quality of life for the people of Linköping? With us, you can combine important tasks with a meaningful everyday life. Welcome to us!

Your responsibilities

As an employee with us, you will help create a safe, meaningful, and caring everyday life for people with physical, mental, and/or intellectual disabilities. Your task is to provide both care and support – in daily life and in contact with the outside world – always with the individual's needs at the center. You work closely with the individual and base your work on the user's conditions and wishes. With pedagogical support and care, you help the person develop and use their abilities to become as independent as possible. Together, you create an everyday life where participation, self-determination, and quality of life are most important.

The tasks are varied and can range from personal hygiene, care, and support in daily routines, to practical chores such as cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, and medication management. You may also support contact with authorities and healthcare. We work based on IBIC (Individual Needs at the Center), which means that every measure is planned together with the individual. As a contact person, you are responsible for drawing up and following up on an implementation plan, as well as documenting and filing in the Treserva system. In the role, you also have close dialogue with relatives and other partners.

Your workplace

We are now looking for a new colleague for a permanent position at 75-100% at Härnegatan's group home. Your working hours will be scheduled during the day, evening, and weekends. The group home is located in Ljungsbro, and you can easily get there by bus both on weekdays and weekends.

The target group at Härnegatan's group home is mixed, primarily consisting of adults with functional variations who have varying but significant care needs. Challenging behavior may occur among the users. The group home has five apartments and common areas where you can spend time when and if you want company from your neighbors. In our shared kitchen, we cook all meals together.

We support our residents in all areas of life, both inside and outside the group home. Most individuals living in the group home have very limited verbal communication and express themselves through few words, gestures, sounds, and body language, but also through alternative and augmentative communication such as picture support. In addition, we work with technical aids such as lifts.

The work group is an experienced team with long experience in the field. We are keen to take care of new staff who join us. We support, introduce, and have a designated supervisor to make it as good as possible. We gladly welcome new thoughts and ideas about the operations and see an advantage in you being creative.

You who apply

We are looking for you who have a completed upper secondary education, preferably from the healthcare and care program, child and youth program, or another equivalent education. You have experience working in support, care, and nursing. It is meritorious if you have previous experience working with people with intellectual or physical disabilities, as well as people with challenging behavior, technical aids, transfer techniques, or documentation according to IBIC. If you have previous experience working with low-affective handling, we see this as very positive.

Since several of our residents have limitations in verbal communication, it is an advantage if you have knowledge of AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication), for example picture support or sign support. We also appreciate that you have worked based on IBIC (Individual Needs at the Center). The work involves many contacts with both residents and relatives as well as ongoing documentation. Therefore, you need to be able to express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing. Good computer skills are a requirement, and it is meritorious if you have experience with journal systems and working with implementation plans.

You are an independent person who takes responsibility for your tasks and drives the work forward. At the same time, you enjoy collaboration and are good at listening, communicating clearly, and adapting your approach to the situation and person. Your empathetic ability allows you to put yourself in others' perspectives and treat people with understanding and respect. You often come up with new ideas and have a forward-thinking mindset that can easily be implemented in the work and yields results.
