You will also perform medical interventions under the delegation of a nurse or rehabilitation staff, as well as support tenants in meaningful activities and leisure. The assignment includes participating in the establishment and follow-up of implementation plans to ensure the quality of services provided. Together with your colleagues, you will create a safe, stimulating, and homelike environment for the tenants. The work may involve some exposure to passive smoking and pets. **Qualifications** We are looking for candidates who have a degree from the Health and Care Program, support assistant training, or the Child and Leisure Program with a focus on social or educational work.

Alternatively, 60 higher education credits and at least two years of experience working with support and services for people with disabilities. The education should include relevant credits in behavioral science, pedagogy, psychology, social work, and (psychiatric) care or other training that the employer deems equivalent. Very good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written, is a requirement; you need to have passed Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1.
