Do you want to work with people? Then we have the job for you.
In support services, you work with everything from home care to supporting people at their workplaces, in leisure activities, or in creative environments such as theater and music. Daily support is the foundation – but needs vary. Regardless of the assignment, the goal is always the same: to strengthen people's independence and quality of life.
What is a functional limitation?
A functional limitation is a reduced physical, mental, or intellectual ability. It can be congenital or develop later in life and can be visible or invisible. Every person is unique – with their own abilities, needs, and strengths – and that is what makes this work both meaningful and developmental.

We are recruiting for several support service operations:
- Housing with special services (BmSS) – 24-hour operations.
- Day activities – habilitation and work-oriented activities during daytime.
- Residential support – support in clients' home environments, mainly daytime but also evenings and weekends.

Placement is based on operational needs and your prior experience.

Communication is an important part of the job, which requires that you have passed Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1. If you do not meet the requirements in Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1, you may be offered to take a language test through test provider Educateit.
