Substitutes for Social Psychiatry

Welcome to us! In Säffle Municipality, we can, want, and dare. Together, we are building a sustainable and democratic community based on trust, responsibility, and engagement. We in Säffle Municipality strive to create a dynamic and inclusive community where residents feel safe and engaged, and we have formulated our vision of how we want to live in Säffle by 2035. Description Working as a substitute within the Social Services Department in Säffle Municipality gives you the opportunity to positively impact the daily lives of others every day. Are you passionate about working with people in the fields of social psychiatry and substance abuse/dependency? Our target group consists of adults with mental health issues/diseases, substance abuse and dependency problems, and comorbidity. Do you want a rewarding part-time job and work when it suits you? Then you should apply to us! We are currently looking for hourly substitutes, and there is also the opportunity to work during the summer of 2026 in our units within Social Psychiatry in Säffle Municipality. Within social psychiatry, there is a special accommodation for individuals with mental disabilities and/or comorbidity, a housing support team, and the activity center Smedjan. The housing support team and the activity center Smedjan operate during daytime hours, Monday to Friday. Nytorgetsboende is a 24-hour operation with awake night shifts. As a substitute within social psychiatry, you will be based in our staffing unit, which will schedule you for available shifts. Responsibilities The tasks vary depending on which unit you are substituting in, but the common goal is to work towards good and trusting relationships, offer support, and create continuity based on individual needs. Housing support primarily involves motivation and support in the home. As a housing supporter, you will visit our clients and support them in a pedagogical and motivating manner to plan and structure their daily lives. We assist our clients with everyday tasks, planning purchases, various errands, contacting authorities and healthcare providers, and, if necessary, accompanying them to scheduled meetings. The main tasks at Nytorgetsboende consist of client-centered work in the form of individually tailored support such as psychosocial support, structure, activities of daily living (ADL), medication administration, and some personal care. You will also be involved in managing daily household chores and other common tasks within the accommodation. The primary work takes place in clients' apartments, but you will also provide support during visits and errands outside the home, for example, at healthcare facilities and with authorities. At the activity center Smedjan, the goal is to offer meaningful engagement and social interaction. The main purpose is to support and develop the strengths of the client through individually tailored tasks. The activity center Smedjan also has an employment supervisor who works with external workplaces for the clients. We work in close collaboration with the housing support team and care and support coordinators. What is common to all units is that the work is very varied and stimulating and requires the ability to work flexibly and independently. Documentation in our operational system Lifecare is included in all activities. We offer you an exciting and responsible job with opportunities for personal development.
