Welcome to Järva Open Care for Children and Youth

Open Care for Children and Youth 1 is a unit within the Open Care area that focuses on exciting development work and making a change that makes a difference for our children and families.

With us at Open Care for Children and Youth, you will work in a pleasant and development-oriented open care that offers high-quality interventions for children, youth, and their families. User participation, children's involvement, and our continuous development and improvement of our work are important to us.

In our unit, one of the teams is an MST team, MST-Järva. Multisystemic Therapy is an evidence-based family treatment intervention aimed at breaking norm-breaking behaviors in a youth by working for change in the systems surrounding the youth. The fundamental work takes place in the family system. The team consists of four family therapist positions and a group leader.

We are now looking for a new employee as one member of the team will be leaving due to relocation.

Welcome with your application!

We offer you the opportunity to work with one of the evidence-based methods highlighted in the National Board of Health and Welfare's knowledge support.

The team has method supervision every week, as well as individual support as needed. As a newcomer to the method, you will be offered basic training in MST, as well as continuous booster/further training one day per quarter.
