As a support pedagogue, you have overall responsibility for the pedagogical work in the operations.

As a support pedagogue, you play a central role in the quality development and systematic improvement work of the operations. You have a supervisory role towards colleagues and collaborate closely with the unit manager. You have an understanding of the organizational context and can adapt easily.

You are part of a network together with other pedagogues led by a method developer and a support pedagogue with a special mobile assignment. You are responsible for planning and leading the operations' workplace meetings, where the unit manager also participates.

An important part of your assignment is to collaborate with key persons in the tenants' network to ensure they receive good care, support, and service.

The position involves that part of the working time is allocated as pedagogical time, but you also work close to the operations. The position includes working on delegation from the patient responsible nurse in accordance with the Health and Medical Services Act.

The working hours are mainly during the day, but evenings and weekends may occur if needed. The operation's needs and your preferences form the basis for the schedule setup. We use Time Care planning and have adjustable base schedules.

The education should have relevant credits in behavioral science, pedagogy, psychology, social work, and (psychiatric) care or other education that the employer deems equivalent.

Communication is an important part of the work, which requires that you have good knowledge of the Swedish language in speech and writing. Therefore, a passing grade in Swedish 1, Swedish as a Second Language 1, or equivalent is required. If you lack this, you may be offered to take a language test via Educateit.

We are looking for you who have experience working with the target group of neuropsychiatry and/or psychiatry. You have experience working with low-affective handling. You have also previously worked with social documentation.

You are pleasant and helpful to others even in a stressful situation. You work to ensure that the tenants receive the support they need. You are attentive and open to understanding other people's needs, feelings, and opinions. You are driven by challenges and learn from setbacks.
