The Disability Services Department in the Municipality of Umeå aims to be a resource that, through closeness and collaboration, empowers

and strengthens people’s ability to live independently. Here, you’ll be part of something meaningful every day; it’s a job where you meet people who give back at least as much as you invest—often even more.

In February 2027, two new group homes under the LSS will open on Lillebergsvägen. The facilities are designed for adults with intellectual disabilities. All residents live in their own apartments and share common areas such as the kitchen and living room. We are now looking for 15 employees who want to help launch these facilities. Twelve positions for day/evening/weekend/on-call night shifts. Three positions for night shifts, which may include some evening shifts. Are you the person we’re looking for?

Your Responsibilities

You will support residents in their daily lives, for example with meals, cleaning,

laundry, personal care, mobility assistance, and planning activities. You will provide individual, social, and practical support to enable and utilize the residents’ own abilities, thereby creating the conditions for independence. You will work to help each individual participate in their daily life and enjoy meaningful leisure time and/or activities. The job also includes documentation, record-keeping, working with implementation plans, and medication management.

Challenging situations, disruptive behaviors, pets, and smoking are present or may occur.

Work hours include days, evenings, weekends, and on-call nights/night shifts.Joint planning takes place between our operations within Disability Care.

About You

As a person, you are confident, curious, and committed. You have strong collaboration skills and a

professional demeanor toward clients, colleagues, and other networks surrounding our clients. It is important that you share our values, work toward set goals, strive for continuous

improvement, and take responsibility for the shared work environment. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.

In order to communicate with clients, colleagues, and other support networks, write and review care documentation, and be authorized to administer medication, you must have a good command of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.
