Vacant job

Your workplace

The Disability Section is looking for 2 support assistants for two SOL Housing units.

Your new job

As a support assistant, you will provide support to citizens based on individual needs and conditions. Building relationships is therefore an important part of the work as it contributes to a safe and stable environment. Since you help citizens manage their daily lives and all the challenges that may arise, both in and outside the home, your job is to create good conditions for the individual to live as independently as possible.

Being calm, empathetic, and stress-resistant is important in working with people, as no two days are alike. The profession requires the ability to handle stressful moments and be proactive, as various situations may arise. Empathy is an important trait as it allows you to see things from the citizen's perspective and thereby understand the other person.

Since citizens have different issues, it is important to be able to work pedagogically and be clear in your interaction/communication. This is to provide the right support to the citizen in question and create structure in their daily life with conditions for predictability. We are looking for someone who is loyal, respects the decisions made in the work group, and understands the importance of standing behind the collective work.

You are a person who dares to take initiative and is open to actively participating in the process of developing and improving working methods that work best for the citizens. Together with the team, you contribute to creating a work environment where mutual trust and collaboration are central to achieving common goals.

Common tasks

• Support and guidance in the individual's daily life
• Participate in various activities together with the individual
• Documentation

We are looking for you

As a person, you are stable, flexible, and have good empathetic abilities. You should be able to build trusting relationships and be sensitive to the individual's needs.

You are also a sensitive and engaged person with great respect for our citizens. You have a positive view of people and the ability to build good relationships. We also value that you are open to new thinking, see opportunities, and have a desire to contribute to the development and improvement of the operations.
