Support Assistant Needed at Bautastensgatans Bmss

GÖTEBORGS KOMMUN · Full-time

Göteborgs Stad, Göteborg, Sweden

Description Bautasten is a residential facility where residents have decisions under both SoL (Social Services Act) and LSS (Act on Support and Services for Persons with Disabilities). The residents have varying support needs, and the goal of the activity is to provide individually adapted support based on each person's needs and decisions according to applicable legislation. Work Tasks In your work, the focus will be on creating security, participation, and a meaningful daily life for each resident. The residents are communicative but may need time to build trust with new people and new staff. Therefore, it is important that you are attentive, confident, and work with a calm and professional demeanor. The work is based on a motivating and low-affect approach where the right to self-determination is an important foundation. The work tasks include both practical assistance, support, and motivation for increased independence. The practical work consists of, among other things, support with medication management, cleaning, laundry, cooking, shopping, and contacts with authorities, health care, and other partners. The support needs of the residents vary. Some primarily need regular support conversations, while others need support and assistance in all daily activities. You work with a motivating approach and create conditions for structure, participation, and self-determination based on each person's individual abilities. Are you interested in making a difference for people in Gothenburg City and contributing to our residents having an independent and fulfilling life?
