About this role
Your Workplace
The Disability Section is seeking 6 support assistants for the launch of a new SoL housing facility on Frösön, starting from 1/3-2026.
Your New Job
As a support assistant, you will provide support to citizens based on individual needs and conditions. Building relationships is therefore a crucial part of the work as it contributes to a secure and stable environment. Since you help citizens manage their daily lives and all the challenges that may arise, both inside 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 when working with people, as no two days are the same. The profession requires the ability to handle stressful moments and be proactive when different situations arise. Empathy is a key trait as it allows you to see things from the citizen's perspective and thus understand them. As citizens have different challenges, it is important to work pedagogically and be clear in your approach and communication. This is to provide the right support to the citizen and create structure in their daily life with conditions for predictability. We are looking for someone who is loyal and respects the decisions made in the work group, and who understands the importance of standing behind collective work. You are a person who dares to take initiative and is open to actively participating in the process of developing and improving work methods that work best for the citizens. Together with the team, you will contribute to creating a work environment where mutual trust and cooperation are central to achieving common goals.
