About the job

We are now looking for a new colleague for the housing with special support at Södra Dragspelsgatan! The housing is a service apartment with five units for people with intellectual disabilities. 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 that those living here 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 individually adapted support to the residents through a low-affective approach, as well as encouraging and motivating them in daily rehabilitation and daily life. 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 system Treserva, and some other administrative tasks.

As a permanently placed support assistant, you will have the opportunity to be a contact person for a user and to represent 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 training. 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 during the day, evening, and two weekends out of four. The scheduling of working hours may change if the needs of the tenants change.

Alternatively, 60 university credits and at least two years of experience working with support and service for people with disabilities. The education should have relevant credits in behavioral science, pedagogy, psychology, social work, and (psychiatric) care or other education that the employer deems equivalent.
