WORK TASKS
We are looking for support assistants and support pedagogues for our group home.
As a support assistant, your role includes planning, implementing and following up on work to promote an ethical and humanistic approach towards clients and to ensure that you work together towards the same goals. The work includes planning client-related work based on clients' implementation plans as well as establishing and following up on routines, job descriptions and action plans. We place great emphasis on clients' independence, participation and opportunities for communication through various alternative and complementary communication methods. Support should be provided in a way that strengthens the individual's confidence in their own abilities.
The group home is home to two clients with complex needs. Clients may have difficulty managing their own emotions and reactions, which in turn can lead to challenging behavior. The ability to meet clients with empathy, respect and professionalism, regardless of behavior, is of utmost importance. The guiding star in your approach towards our clients, colleagues and other collaboration partners is Gävle Municipality's core values, routines and policies
Together with your colleagues and unit manager, you contribute your thoughts, ideas and reflections on how we work to develop our operations to achieve set goals. Your approach and working methods are based on national guidelines and evidence-based methods with the aim of contributing to clients' personal development, strengthening their communicative and social skills, self-esteem and independence. Guiding your daily work are the clients' implementation plans or other action plans, instructions and routines established for each client. You support clients with daily tasks, everything from cooking, cleaning, care, personal hygiene, leisure activities to social and official contacts.
To succeed in your role as a support assistant, it is important that you build confidence and inspire trust in those you meet in your daily work. You are a solution-focused and positive person who has the ability to work independently but also in collaboration with others. You can spread calm and stability in the workplace, especially in pressured situations that may arise. You have an unpretentious approach, can distinguish between the issue and the person, and have the ability to view situations from different perspectives.
