We will work based on a clarifying pedagogy by maintaining structure based on 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 the specific individual.

In the role of support assistant, you will have a varied job that includes 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 towards the individual through goals that are continuously followed up in collaboration with other professions.

• Education in and/or experience with low-affective approach.
• Good knowledge of Swedish in both speech and writing.

Personal Attributes

As a person, we would like you to be positive, calm, sensitive, and clear in your communication. You have high work ethics, are solution-focused and independent, take personal responsibility for your work, and can meet the individual's needs through a balance between structure and flexibility. You have the ability to adapt your work style to the situation.

Furthermore, we see that you have good cooperation skills and can work independently, as you sometimes work with others and sometimes alone. You are development-oriented and creative in finding new ways to increase the user's participation, independence, and communication.
