Your Work Tasks
We are seeking two support assistants for our LSS recreation activities. The positions encompass 70–85 percent and suit you if you want to work with support, structure, and motivation in young people's daily lives.
As a support assistant, you contribute to creating a safe and meaningful leisure time for children and youth with LSS decisions. The young people have different needs and conditions, which makes the work varied and developmental. You adapt your support based on the individual and help create a daily life characterized by safety, participation, and community.
The assignment includes planning and implementing activities that promote social interaction, movement, and creativity. You work both in an educational and care-oriented manner, and personal care may occur. Simple household tasks, such as cooking and cleaning, are also part of the work.
You are responsible for documentation and collaborate closely with colleagues, family members, and external partners, such as schools and other cooperation partners. You will be employed at a department, but the operations co-plan resources, which means you need to be flexible and be able to work with different young people as needed.
Working hours are primarily scheduled Monday through Friday between 12:00 and 18:00, with a focus on afternoons, typically 13:00–17:30. During school breaks and study days, the operations are open full days between 6:30 and 17:30.
The operations co-plan with other units, which means service at multiple work locations may become relevant. For this position, the employment degree is at least 70 %, but given the right to full-time employment as applied in Linköping Municipality, you have the opportunity to choose a higher employment degree up to full-time.
Your Workplace
LSS Recreation, also called short-term supervision, is a service under the Act on Support and Service for Certain Persons with Disabilities (LSS). The operations target young people aged 12–21 who need support before and after school, during study days and school breaks, as well as a safe social environment.
The operations are conducted in-house at Fredriksberg in the Ekholmen district and are divided into several buildings with different departments. Approximately 26 employees work together with around 50 young people. The operations are relatively newly started and are characterized by commitment, collaboration, and shared responsibility for developing working methods and routines.
The workplace is located in a quiet area with proximity to green spaces, sports fields, and walking paths. The facilities are accessibility-adapted and offer good opportunities for both indoor and outdoor activities. Each young person has an implementation plan that clarifies goals, needs, and the support to be provided.
About You
We are seeking someone with education from a child and recreation program, health and care program, recreation leader training, or other education/experience that the employer deems equivalent. Alternatively, you have a VET (Vocational Education and Training) education or at least 60 higher education credits in areas such as pedagogy, behavioral science, psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy, or similar field.
You have experience working within support, care, and health services or other social or educational activities. You also have experience with low-affective communication and with alternative and augmentative communication, such as picture support or sign support. Experience working with people with intellectual disabilities and/or neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as working with activities or creative elements, is a merit.
The work involves documentation and collaboration with multiple parties, which requires good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written, as well as basic computer skills. As a person, you are confident, empathetic, and clear in your interactions. You collaborate well with others, take responsibility, and adapt easily to changing needs and situations.
