Job Advertisement: Teacher at SiS Youth Home Bärby

The Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SiS) is an authority responsible for individually adapted 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. Regardless of where in our organization you work or what position you hold, you help create life-changing transformations.

SiS Youth Home Bärby, located outside Uppsala, receives non-compulsory school-age boys with psychosocial issues as well as criminal behavior and substance abuse.

Job Description

We welcome young people who are in problematic and tough life situations. Many have negative experiences of school and low confidence in their own abilities. As a teacher with us, you will work with these students and have a unique opportunity to ignite their desire to learn and make them proud of themselves. Teaching takes place in small classes, allowing you ample time for each student. You always start from individual needs and build trusting and professional relationships that make the young people feel secure in school.

Bärbyskolan is a separate unit within the institution where we collaboratively plan, teach in smaller groups, evaluate, and develop the educational work at the institution. Teaching at Bärby is provided at both high school and primary school levels, with most students aged between 16 and 20 years. The educational activities within SiS follow the same regulations as other educational institutions, except that necessary deviations in teaching may occur with regard to the student. Bärbyskolan is responsible for the education of all enrolled youth regardless of their issues or placement form. All young people residing at the youth home should receive the education they need and are entitled to. We work closely with the youth and maintain a positive spirit in both work and relationships. Teachers both teach and have a mentoring responsibility for the students.

We are now looking for teachers who will primarily teach social studies subjects at the primary school level. Responsibilities include teaching and guiding students as well as mentoring. Additionally, documentation, development work, and collaboration with other professionals at Bärby, other institutions, and stakeholders will be part of the role. As an authority, we encourage all types of professional development and offer extensive courses, internal training, and unique experiences.
