Job Description

Take the opportunity to try an interesting summer temporary position as a treatment assistant at SiS.

SiS Youth Home Margretelund in Lidköping is now seeking treatment assistants for summer temporary positions during our vacation periods in June, July, and August.

If you have the opportunity to start as a substitute before these weeks, we see it as a significant advantage.

The youth at SiS have backgrounds marked by unpredictability and stress in various forms, which means your focus will be on working professionally with treatment, care, and motivational work, as well as providing support in daily life. You will be part of the youths' schooling, cooking, cleaning routines, and evening activities. All activities are carried out safely and are carefully risk-assessed before implementation, which you will be responsible for.

As a treatment assistant, you will work in a team with trained treatment pedagogues and treatment coordinators, and together you will be responsible for ensuring that the youth living with us receive the security, care, and treatment they need. Documentation is an essential part of your work and contributes, among other things, to legal security, planning, and follow-up of our operations. You contribute to maintaining safety according to our routines and participate in working towards a constantly better SiS.

This is a job for you who see a positive challenge in working with vulnerable boys in a difficult life situation. The job is often demanding but also stimulating, joyful, and varied! At SiS, you truly have the chance to make a difference for someone and change lives.
