Vacant job

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. With us at SiS, your work life will be 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 Sundbo outside Fagersta receives non-compulsory school boys with psychosocial issues as well as criminality and substance abuse. We are tasked with providing care for young people with special care needs and receive boys who have been sentenced to closed youth care (LSU).

Job Responsibilities

Young people come to us who are in a problematic and tough life situation. Many have negative experiences of school and low confidence in their own abilities. As a teacher with us, you work with these students and you get a unique chance to awaken their desire to learn and make them proud of themselves. Teaching takes place in small classes, which gives you plenty of 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.

Sundboskolan constitutes its own unit within the institution where we collaboratively plan, teach in smaller teaching groups, evaluate, and develop school work at the institution. Teaching at Sundbo is focused on both high school and primary school levels, with most young people being between 16-20 years old. The school activities within SiS follow the same regulations as the rest of the school system, except that necessary deviations in teaching may occur with regard to the student.

We have newly built and adapted school facilities in a so-called “standard school” where most of the teaching takes place.

Sundboskolan is responsible for the education of all enrolled young people regardless of 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 young people and maintain a positive spirit in both work and relationships. The teachers both teach and have a mentoring responsibility for the students.
