The overarching goal is to keep the user's needs at the center and to continuously adapt the content so that it is meaningful for them. You help create conditions for the users' stay through activities and opportunities for social contact. As a support pedagogue, it is your task to fulfill the goals in the LSS plan regarding self-determination, participation, and integrity for each individual user. You carry out daily support and planned interventions based on the user's individual needs and wishes in accordance with LSS. Examples of tools for this include creating implementation plans, other documentation, and evidence-based methods. You should contribute to creating a meaningful and safe stay where activities are shaped according to the users' specific strengths, interests, and needs. Care work is part of the role.

Great weight is placed on personal suitability. In this position, you will support children and young people with disabilities who show high sensitivity, and therefore requires high demands on your attentiveness to their needs for well-being.
