Job Advertisement: Teacher in Social Subjects

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 secure youth care. We do this in youth homes and homes for adults with substance abuse across the country. At SiS, your work life will be an exciting challenge. No matter where in our organization you work or what position you hold, you help create life-changing transformations.

SiS youth home Ljungbacken receives boys aged 16 to 20 years. The institution is located in Uddevalla.

Job Description

SiS Ljungbacken is now seeking a teacher qualified to teach social subjects for grades 7-9 at our school, Ljungskolan. Ljungskolan is a newly built school under development, and if you are passionate about helping the most vulnerable youth in society, we can offer an exciting position with a high degree of variation and the opportunity to truly make a difference. We can offer a high teacher-to-student ratio, good teaching resources, and pedagogical guidance.

SiS Ljungbacken primarily receives non-compulsory school boys. Our students can range from school-motivated high school students without special needs to youth with significant gaps and a great need for support, often with an NPF and/or IF diagnosis. In exceptional cases, we also accept compulsory school students. The students need support from caring adults with strong empathetic abilities and a good ability to encourage, motivate, and set clear boundaries. Many of the students have disabilities of a socio-emotional and neuropsychiatric nature, so experience in this area is desirable. You will complement a team of teachers who work closely together to build a program that motivates students towards pedagogical development. If you have good subject knowledge, are skilled at motivating students, see their differences as pedagogical development opportunities, and value relationship-building work, then you might be the one we are looking for.

Qualifications

• It is a requirement that you are qualified to teach social subjects for grades 7-9
• It is a requirement that you have a B driver's license
• It is a requirement that you have good documentation skills
• It is advantageous if you have experience with NPF and IF (adapted primary and secondary school)

You who are applying are a person with great commitment, creativity, and a solution-focused mindset. You have a strong empathetic ability and a good ability to encourage, motivate, and set clear boundaries. You are passionate about helping youth in difficulties. You have a positive attitude and believe in each individual's potential for development. Your role includes motivating students to continue their education and providing them with the right conditions to succeed. You have a good ability to collaborate both internally with staff, youth, and other colleagues, as well as externally with social services, external schools, and the youth's families and networks.
