Do you want to help create the vital difference for vulnerable people? Then the job as a treatment assistant at SiS is a meaningful challenge. The goal of your role is to motivate our youth towards new and less risky ways of living. As a treatment assistant, you will ensure that the routines in the department function as they should.
