Are you passionate about supporting other people and want to make a real difference at work? We are now looking for several committed personal assistants for various cases within our operations. The cases vary between children and adults, as do working hours throughout the day. Welcome to submit your application, and be part of creating a positive impact with us!
Your New Job
In your work, you support and motivate the citizen in parts of daily life that can be difficult to manage independently. You work closely with the citizen and adapt your services and approach based on the individual's needs, wishes, and circumstances. Always with respect for personal integrity and with a focus on promoting participation.
The work is primarily carried out independently in the citizen's home. Your work tasks vary and may include assistance with daily routines such as personal hygiene, dressing and undressing, lifting and transfers, meals, and household work. It can also involve supporting communication or accompanying leisure activities. You also perform certain health and care services by delegation, such as medication management and rehabilitative support. Your work also includes social documentation in Combine and time registration in Phoniro.
In your work, you collaborate with various parties, both internally and externally. You have contact with unit managers and colleagues, as well as relatives, legal representatives, and health and care services.
Your Expertise
We appreciate it if you have training as a personal assistant or have completed a care and support program with specialization in disability services/psychiatry or a children's and leisure program with a focus on social work/pedagogical work. Alternatively, you have another education with social or pedagogical focus that the employer considers equivalent.
Experience in disability services or pedagogical, service-oriented, or care work is a merit, particularly in personal assistance. For certain cases, experience working with self-harm or disruptive behavior is also a merit.
You master Swedish in speaking, writing, and reading comprehension. This is important because the work involves a lot of contact creation, documentation, and reading information related to the work. Furthermore, you need to be comfortable using digital tools as aids in documentation, time reporting, etc. Therefore, we view it positively if you bring this experience from previous work. A B-driver's license may be required for certain positions.
Personal Qualities and Abilities
As a person, you are attentive and adapt your working method to both needs and situations while keeping the assignment and the citizen in focus. The role suits you if you enjoy taking on significant responsibility, finding solutions, and developing work methods along the way. Even though you often work independently, it is important that you can collaborate well with others when needed. You treat people with respect for their differences and contribute to a positive and safe environment around you. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
What We Offer You
With us, you get flexible and varied work that provides great scope for personal responsibility. As an employee of Jönköping Municipality, you naturally receive a secure employment, agreed-upon salary, and wellness benefits.
