Job Description

As a Support Pedagogue (Stödpedagog), your duties involve supporting, activating, and supervising individuals in their daily lives at either a children's home or a short-term residential facility, depending on where you are employed.

The overarching goal is to keep the user's needs at the center and continuously adapt the content to make it meaningful for the user. You help create conditions for the users' stay by organizing activities and opportunities for social contact.

Your task is to fulfill the goals in the LSS (Law on Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) plan regarding self-determination, participation, and privacy for the individual user. You perform day-to-day and planned support measures based on the user's individual needs and wishes in accordance with LSS. Examples of tools for this include creating implementation plans, other documentation, and evidence-based methods. You contribute to creating a meaningful and secure stay where the operations are shaped according to the users' specific strengths, interests, and needs. Care work is included.

A B-driver's license for manual transmission is a requirement.

Swimming proficiency is a merit.

Personal suitability is highly valued. In this role, you will support children and young people with disabilities who show high sensitivity, placing high demands on your responsiveness to their needs. You should have a low-affective approach and an understanding of challenging behavior.
