Vacant job

Do you want to be part of an amazing team? Do you want to contribute to our clients' next positive step in life? About Viljan Ugglegatan HVB

HVB Ugglegatan is a smaller residence in Linköping with five apartments that offers a safe and individualized environment. Each residence has its own apartment in a shared stairwell, creating both independence and proximity to support. The accommodation is designed to provide intensive treatment and meet needs that traditional HVB homes may struggle to address.

To ensure high quality, we have a high staff density and staff available around the clock, including awake night shifts. Our setup allows us to tailor support entirely based on the individual's needs and the social services' assignment formulation.

As a natural extension of the operation, we also offer a smaller support housing. Here, those who are ready for the next step in independence can continue their development with the opportunity to retain their previous contact persons and staff. The support level in the support housing is adjusted according to individual needs to create a safe transition to adulthood.

Target group: Active Omsorg Ugglegatan HVB offers psychosocial treatment for girls and transgender individuals aged 14-20, who are in unsuitable environments, who have committed minor offenses, who have tried drugs, or who exhibit threatening behavior.

About the role of Social Pedagogue

We work with commitment in everything concerning our clients. The job involves meeting people in crisis and/or with difficult life situations, and it is very important that you can see opportunities, convey hope, and meet people in a respectful manner. Together, you will do practical things in everyday life, such as practicing everyday skills.

You will act as a support for the client, and together you will develop strategies to achieve everyday goals. The goal is for our clients to gain greater self-confidence, which leads to an increased ability to manage their daily lives.

Working with youth in a HVB home places high demands on your ability to be patient and to create engagement, participation, and trusting relationships with both youth and your colleagues in your professional role. As a social pedagogue with us, we see that you are secure in yourself and can work both independently and in a group.

You will spend parts of your working hours alone with the youth in their apartment, and therefore it is required that you have the ability to plan, implement, follow up, and complete the work with the youth. We see that you have good communication skills and can maintain your calm even in pressured situations; you can handle conflicts constructively. We expect you to uphold the treatment structure of the residence. This is done by actively working on relationship building, motivational work, documentation, and being involved in ensuring that routines at the residence are followed. Other important qualities include a fundamental attitude of respect, equality, and kindness.

Qualifications

You are relationship-oriented and have a good ability to establish contact with people in vulnerable situations. You are calm, stable, and can maintain a realistic perspective on situations that arise in daily work. You have good collaboration skills and relate to others in a responsive manner and enjoy collaborating with others. You are an independent, humble, and responsible person who is passionate about care work and can see the individual's needs.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
