Your role

Social Intervention Groups (SIG) are a working method for collaboration between social services, police, schools, and other actors to help young people stop committing crimes. In the role of SIG coordinator, you will work with the target group of young people aged 12-20 who commit crimes, are at risk of developing or have developed a criminal lifestyle, are in criminal environments and/or are at risk of being involved or are already involved in violent extremism. You will work based on the fundamental principles of Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR).

The role of SIG coordinator means that you, on behalf of social workers, help the young person with a lifestyle change to leave crime and stop a negative development. You have a central role in motivating the youth and guardians to break confidentiality to coordinate interventions with other important supportive actors around the young person. You will provide practical and social support by accompanying them to meetings. The work involves coordinating contacts with authorities and other community actors and supporting the creation and maintenance of contacts with necessary partners. You work towards clear goals with the individual, and the implementation plan becomes an important tool for creating participation and motivation.

As a SIG coordinator, you will be part of a well-functioning collaboration with the police. The district area is part of Stockholm City's structured collaboration between social services, police, and probation services called TREFAS. Within the Farsta district administration, we work based on a cohesive social service where working methods and routines that support this are a given.
