Psychologist at SiS Youth Home Stigby

The Swedish National Board of Institutional Care, SiS, is an authority responsible for individually tailored compulsory care for young people with complex psychosocial issues and for adults with substance abuse. SiS also implements secure youth care. We do this at youth homes and homes for adults with substance abuse throughout the country. Working with us at SiS will be an exciting challenge for your career. No matter where in our organization you work or what position you hold, you help create life-changing transformations.

SiS Youth Home Stigby in Visingsö has space for 35 young people and receives non-compulsory school-age boys with psychosocial issues, criminality, and substance abuse. We are divided into an MBB department (reception and needs assessment), four treatment departments, and a discharge preparation department in Jönköping.

Job Description

Do you want to contribute to life-changing transformations for vulnerable youth? Then the job as a psychologist with us at SiS Youth Home Stigby is a meaningful challenge for you.

As a psychologist at Stigby, your expertise is in demand and important. As a psychologist, you are part of our quality unit and work towards our MBB department and our treatment departments. The quality unit consists of three psychologists, two nurses, five treatment secretaries, and in 2026 the team will also be strengthened with a quality coordinator and a family therapist.

With us, you will have the opportunity to contribute to good care and treatment at both the individual and group levels. As a psychologist, you will have a varied job where you conduct assessment interviews upon admission to the institution, participate in structured risk, needs, and receptivity assessments, perform suicide risk assessments as needed, and carry out psychological evaluations in special cases. You will maintain individual contacts with youth and contribute your knowledge through supervision and consultation to treatment staff in client-related work. You will also participate in treatment planning, interdisciplinary team meetings, and in the institution's competence development through, for example, lectures. You are an important part of providing your colleagues with knowledge and tools regarding our youth's conditions.

At Stigby, our treatment staff is trained in trauma-informed care (TMO), and our psychologists are responsible for training and consultation in TMO towards all departments. If interested and based on the needs of the organization, there is an opportunity to work on method development and improvement work.

SiS offers good opportunities for professional development. There is an established collaboration for psychologists at the central level through annual conferences, and participation in various research projects may occur. If you complete your PTP, you will be supervised by a psychologist on-site. There is also the possibility of regular supervision in your work, and you will work closely with your psychologist colleagues. You will also work closely with other professionals at the institution, such as treatment secretaries, department teams, and treatment staff, which requires good collaboration skills.

The working hours are scheduled during the day.
