You move between users/assignments using the municipality's vehicles. You support users through various interventions such as breaking social isolation, moving toward the job market, or beginning studies. You also help users structure their daily routines, manage household tasks, and communicate with authorities and other agencies, while collaborating and cooperating with other actors. You work with social documentation in the Treserva documentation system and continuously follow up and revise implementation plans. We work with activity-adapted and flexible schedules. Needs are continuously adjusted based on operational requirements, which means you need to be prepared to work days, evenings, and weekends. We value your ideas and commitment, and together we create conditions for development and an independent life for our users. Does this sound like something for you?
