Vacant job

Description

As an employee in Gislaved Municipality, you are a co-creator at your workplace. You are given the opportunity and expected to contribute to the development of the operations through your knowledge and experience. Respect for differences and the equal value of all people are fundamental to us.

Do you want to work in an operation where you make a real difference for children and parents?

We are now looking for a housing support worker who wants to help develop our family-oriented housing support.

Here, you work closely with families where a parent needs support in daily life. Through a family-oriented approach, we strengthen parents' abilities and create better conditions for the children. This assignment is new to us in the municipality, so you will be part of building up the role together with supervisors and colleagues at the authority.

Job Responsibilities

As a housing support worker, you provide pedagogical, social, and practical support to individuals and families in their homes and local environment.

The work includes, among other things:

• supporting parents in daily structure and planning
• providing support in parenting and meeting the children's needs
• working with household routines such as cooking, cleaning, and planning
• participating in network meetings and collaborating with other actors, such as schools, social services, and healthcare
• accompanying to meetings or activities when necessary
• working based on implementation plans together with the family

The work is carried out both independently and together with colleagues in a team.

Working hours are scheduled during the day, evening, and weekend according to the individual's need for support. You have an operation-adapted schedule that you plan yourself.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a degree from the Care and Nursing Programme, Child and Youth Programme, or another equivalent education of 200 vocational higher education credits or 120 university credits.

We would like you to have experience working with people with mental illness and neuropsychiatric disabilities, and be good at building relationships and structure. You are a flexible person with patience.

You also have good knowledge of Swedish society and its various functions. We want you to have experience working with families and are accustomed to collaboration.

Since we work with the PYC method, it is meritorious if you have that training.

We place great importance on personal suitability and preferably see that you have experience with the target group.

A B driver's license is a requirement.

The position is a project employment for one year with the possibility of extension.

Employment interviews may take place before the application period has ended!

We Offer

• a meaningful job where you make a difference for families and children
• a dedicated team and close collaboration with other professions
• opportunity to develop within a family-oriented approach
• a varied and developing work
• a strong sense of group with colleagues
• external supervision
• paid vacation from the first year of employment
• free entry to the municipality's swimming pools

Your contribution as an employee is deeply linked to your ability to collaborate and participate in the development of yourself and the operations. Here, this means that you have good cooperation with your manager and colleagues, both at your own workplace and in the rest of the municipal group. You treat everyone with a high level of service, kindness, and high quality through a customer- and service focus. You take responsibility for involving yourself in operational issues and are solution-oriented.

We place great importance on personal suitability and that your view of employment corresponds with ours.

We apply register control (extract from the criminal record) as a form of suitability assessment for all who are offered employment in operations where there is direct and regular contact with children and young people.

In Gislaved Municipality, full-time work is a right, and therefore vacant positions are advertised as full-time. When the operation can accommodate part-time, it is of course an option. Positions shorter than 3 months and certain positions may be exempted. In connection with the recruitment process, Gislaved Municipality has taken a stance on recruitment channels and marketing. We therefore expressly decline contact with media sellers, recruitment sites, and similar.
