Description

Do you want to make a real difference in people's lives?

Here at Wäxthuset, we are not just looking for a new employee, but the right person who wants to become part of our small, family-like team.

We are a treatment home where community, responsibility, and commitment are central. Here we work closely with each other and our patients, with the goal of helping people get back to life.

About the position

The position is an all-round role where you become an important part of the daily operations. Your tasks will include, among other things:

Work in the kitchen two days a week

On-call duty one weekday evening per week

Close patient work

Practical tasks such as driving and working on the farm

The kitchen is the heart of the house, and here you not only cook but also work together with our patients to create structure, community, and participation.

Working on-call with us means you may encounter people in difficult life situations, creating safety and maintaining structure even during challenging moments.

The position is flexible, but we envision 80% weekdays/weekday evenings. Given that the position is varied, you need to be able to prioritize and plan your tasks. The kitchen duty is shared with another person, and you need to be able to plan the kitchen operations together with that colleague.

Who are you?

We are looking for someone who:

Is engaged, driven, and responsible

Enjoys working in a team but is also confident working independently

Has a genuine interest in people and wants to contribute to change

Is flexible and not afraid to take on varied tasks

You share our values based on the 12-step program and see people's potential for change. To fit the role, you need to be a person who practices what you preach. You are confident in yourself, able to set boundaries, and skilled at building relationships with the patient in focus.
