About this role
The position is located within the Social Administration, which is one of eight administrations in Linköping Municipality.

We ensure that all residents receive the support they are entitled to. Do you want to improve the daily lives, future, and quality of life for the people of Linköping? With us, you can combine important tasks with a meaningful everyday life. Welcome to us!
Your Responsibilities
With us, you will work to meet the individual needs of our clients; together with your colleagues, you play a vital role in creating a meaningful daily life for our customers. Working as a support assistant means supporting each user towards independence. The tasks involve providing support to users in personal care, daily life, leisure, health and functional ability, relationships, and fostering participation. The role of a support assistant is about contributing to the liberation and development of the users' own resources. The work includes all tasks typically found in a home, habilitation, medication management, documentation, and more.
We operate based on IBIC, with the individual’s needs at the center. In this role, you will have the opportunity for development as you will be assigned a contact person role, which means you will plan support measures together with the client. You will be responsible for the client's implementation plan and document in the Treserva system. The role also includes maintaining close contact with relatives and other collaborative partners.
Your Workplace
We are now looking for a new colleague for a longer temporary position at 85% with working hours scheduled for days, evenings, weekends, and on-call duties. The group home is located in Ekängen in a newly built, quiet, and pleasant area near the shore of Lake Roxen, approximately 8 km from Linköping city center. You can reach us by local bus (about two to three departures per hour), your own car, or by bike on a nice bike path.
In the group home, six young adults with disabilities live who primarily need social support to achieve a good quality of life. We work based on a pedagogical approach and with a low-arousal response.
Here, you will be part of a team of support assistants, support pedagogues, a manager, and a head of operations who together work to create conditions for meaningful days for the individuals we serve. We collaborate on practical matters, discuss, and reflect. If needed, we also have supervision from a psychologist to best meet the target group with adequate support.
Who You Are
You have an education from the health and social care program, the child and leisure program, or another education deemed equivalent. If you also have a background in behavioral sciences, it is considered an asset. You have experience in support, care, and social services, and it is desirable that you have worked with individuals with intellectual disabilities, neuropsychiatric diagnoses, autism, or within social psychiatry. Experience in documentation, working with and developing implementation plans, and working based on IBIC is also advantageous.
The job involves a lot of client contact and documentation, which means we require you to communicate verbally and in writing in Swedish and document in digital systems. It is desirable that you have knowledge of alternative and augmentative communication, such as visual support. Since the organization's own vehicle is used extensively in the work, you need to have a B driver's license.
You are secure, stable, and possess self-awareness, viewing relationships from a broader perspective. You plan and prioritize your work effectively and are self-driven, able to move your tasks forward. You also work well with others, listen, and communicate clearly, with the ability to adapt your communication style. It is also important that you have an empathetic ability and can understand others' perspectives and situations.
