Strömstad Municipality is a small and close-knit organization where everyone is important and works together to deliver the best possible service.
Within the Social Services Department, we work together to enable people to live independent, secure, and meaningful lives based on their own circumstances. Every day we create safety, quality of life, and service for those we serve.
The Social Services Department is in an important development phase. We are facing major changes related to the new Social Services Act, the transition to Good and Close Care, and growing demand for support, care, and services. To succeed, we need to develop our work methods, use our resources wisely, and at the same time preserve quality, legal certainty, and trust.

WORK TASKS
Good support begins with seeing the person, not just the need. At our LSS housing facilities, we work to enable each individual to live their life on their own terms, with support that strengthens independence, participation, and quality of life.
We are now seeking support assistants for our three housing facilities on Skomakargatan, Löpargatan, and Spinnaren. With us, you become part of a operation where self-determination is the foundation of our work and where we together develop the support.
As a support assistant, you meet people with different needs, life situations, and strengths. Your task is to provide individually tailored support based on each person's wishes, circumstances, and goals. This may include creating structure, encouraging participation, assisting with everyday activities, or being present when someone wants to try something new.
We believe that people can achieve more when they have the right conditions. Therefore, your approach is important. You need to be able to listen, provide space, and adapt the support so that the individual has the opportunity to do as much as possible themselves.
We work based on IBIC (Individual's Needs in Focus). You participate in planning, implementing, and following up support based on the individual's needs and goals. Implementation plans, social documentation, and follow-up are a natural part of the work.
With us, it is also important how we work together. We want a work team where people share experiences, contribute ideas, and dare to try new work methods. At the same time, we need to be able to follow agreed-upon work methods and take responsibility for making them part of everyday practice. We test, follow up, and develop together what works best for the individual.
Our three housing facilities have different focuses and needs, which provides opportunities for a varied workday and we work with resource sharing with other units within care services.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for someone with education relevant to working with people and supporting individuals' development and independence. This could include:
• nursing assistant with diploma from Health and Care College or equivalent
• childcare assistant education
• other pedagogical education
• other education that the employer deems relevant for the task
Experience from LSS services is an advantage, but we also see great value in experience from educational work. This could include work with children, young people, or people with different support needs. Pedagogical experience can provide valuable competence in areas such as approach, structure, communication, and supporting individuals' development.
For the position, in addition to education, the following are required:
• ability to take responsibility for delegated healthcare tasks
• good digital competence and view documentation as an important part of the work
• good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both spoken and written
You want to contribute to your work team's development and are happy to share your experiences and ideas. At the same time, you understand the importance of following commonly agreed work methods. You are curious about trying new things and prepared to evaluate and adjust with your colleagues as we see what works best, always with the individual's self-determination in focus.
We place great emphasis on personal suitability. With us, you have the opportunity to use your competence, develop together with colleagues, and contribute to a safe and meaningful daily life for the people living with us.
