Schedevi Psychiatry is a privately owned company that has been offering quality support, 24-hour care, and housing for adults since 1942, in accordance with the Social Services Act and the Support and Service Act. We offer a wide range of care, including personal care, social and physical training, and unique support based on each individual's capacity for personal development. We have several well-established operations and are currently present in Östergötland, Västra Götaland, and Småland. Our vision is for Schedevi Psychiatry to be a high-quality and market-leading healthcare provider in Sweden for individuals with mental and physical disabilities who have complex and long-term needs for support, supervision, and care. Our corporate culture reflects high quality, uniqueness, job satisfaction, lack of hierarchy, thoughtfulness, extensive experience, courage, the ability to convey security, decisiveness, and short decision-making paths.

Business Description

The operations in Essunga consist of three units: Short-term Care, Rågvägen, and Nursing Psychiatry. We are a wonderful team with broad and deep competence in psychiatric and somatic care, working together and with a clear focus on sustainable development for both our clients and our work environment. Our team consists of assistant nurses, residential support workers, behavioral scientists, educators, nurses, doctors, and physiotherapists. Together, we work to make a difference for our clients.

Job Responsibilities

As a residential support worker with us, your tasks include:

  • Providing pedagogical and psychosocial support to adults with mental illness and co-occurring disorders.
  • Strengthening the individual's ability to be independent and participate in daily life.
  • Working with structure, motivation, and social training.
  • Collaborating with colleagues, relatives, and external actors such as psychiatry and authorities, while actively promoting health, movement, and good living habits.
  • Documenting according to current legislation and the organization's routines.

In this position, we are particularly looking for someone who enjoys working with health-promoting initiatives, such as physical activity and healthy habits. The work involves day, evening, and weekend shifts depending on the needs of the operation. Experience in nutrition/health/training or equivalent health-promoting work is a significant plus.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who:

  • Have some form of education within healthcare and social services and/or pedagogy.
  • Have experience working in adult psychiatry.
  • Have a good ability to build trusting relationships.
  • Are secure, responsible, and solution-focused.
  • Have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.

Meritorious qualifications include experience in addiction care, low-affective handling, MI (Motivational Interviewing), and documentation experience.

What We Offer

A permanent position at 100%, with close and supportive leadership in a family-owned company. Opportunities to influence the development of the operations. Colleagues with high competence and great commitment. A workplace where warmth and professionalism go hand in hand. We also offer our employees a generous wellness allowance and opportunities for professional development.

Application

Feel free to submit your application with a CV and cover letter. Selection and interviews are conducted continuously, which means the position may be filled before the application deadline.

The employment begins with a six-month probationary period. As part of our systematic work environment management, random drug tests may occur. Upon a job offer, a valid extract from the criminal record register must be presented.
