Job Description

SiS Youth Home Hässleholm is now seeking treatment assistants and educators for summer positions during our vacation periods weeks 25-28 and 29-32. If you have the opportunity to start as a substitute before these weeks, we see it as a great advantage.

At SiS Hässleholm, there are 43 places for security-classified boys aged approximately 12-16 years distributed across 6 departments.

The youths at SiS have backgrounds marked by unpredictability and stress in various forms, which means that your focus will be on working professionally with treatment work, care and motivational efforts, and being a support in everyday life. You will be part of the youths' schooling, cooking and cleaning routines, evening activities, etc., as those who live here do so around the clock. 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 youths living with us receive the security, care, and treatment they need. Documentation is an important part of your work and contributes 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 difficult life situations. 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.
