Group Leader at SiS Youth Home Bergsmansgården

The Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SiS) is an authority responsible for individually tailored compulsory care for young people with complex psychosocial issues and for adults with substance abuse. SiS also implements closed youth care. We do this at youth homes and homes for adults with substance abuse across the country. At SiS, your work life becomes an exciting challenge. No matter where in our organization you work or what position you hold, you help create life-changing transformations.

SiS Youth Home Bergsmansgården receives non-compulsory school-age girls. The institution is located in Fjugesta, thirty kilometers west of Örebro. The girls come to us because they have psychosocial issues as well as problems with crime or substance abuse.
