We are looking for a sensitive and stable housing support worker for immediate start

We are now looking for a sensitive and stable housing support worker for immediate start at our service housing, Mariehöjd. Here, our housing support is based in ordinary housing, supporting, motivating, and engaging people with social psychiatric issues to live an independent life.

Do you want to make a difference for people with mental health issues? Are you a creative and easy-going person who can set boundaries? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

Job Responsibilities

The responsibilities involve working in an investigative, supportive, and motivational manner to strengthen the individual's own resources for an independent life and active participation in society. In your role, you should be able to meet the individual where they are and understand the difficulties they may face. You must be able to make independent decisions and solve various situations based on each individual's prerequisites and needs.

You will be part of a housing support group with long experience and high competence. Together with the individual, you structure their daily life, leisure, and activities, as well as follow their development plan. The operation strives for cooperation with relatives, healthcare, and labor market actors, among others.

The position is a permanent employment starting with a six-month probation period. We work during daytime, evenings, and weekends. You work based on a fixed schedule with great flexibility according to the needs of the assignments.

Qualifications

We are primarily looking for you who have a post-secondary education in, for example, social pedagogy/treatment pedagogy or another equivalent university education. It is meritorious if you have experience dealing with people with mental health issues or previous experience working with people in need of special support, as well as experience and knowledge of low-affective handling, psychosis, and co-occurring disorders.

As a person, you are sensitive, positive, and secure in individual meetings with the people you meet, and you have a good ability to work independently and build trust. You are communicative, team-oriented, and have a strong drive to support and motivate. The position also requires a good portion of flexibility as you help each other with cases within the housing support group.

You are expected to have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both orally and in writing. This is because many of your tasks involve receiving instructions and forwarding information in a correct and clear manner. We assume you have a certain digital maturity in computer and mobile phone usage as we use this as a work tool, including for documentation.

• A Category B driver's license is required for the position.
• You must be able to work irregular hours.

Application

When you apply, we want a CV where your previous merits are visible. You can omit the cover letter; instead, you will answer some selection questions. We place great importance on personal qualities and good references.

Welcome with your application! Recruitment is ongoing as the start date is as soon as possible.
