Job Description

Do you want to be part of creating life-changing transformations for vulnerable individuals? Then the job as a treatment pedagogue at SiS is a meaningful challenge. SiS Youth Home Långanäs has opened several new departments over the past year and, in connection with the new year, will also increase the number of employees in the departments. This is to ensure a good working environment and opportunities for professional development. Therefore, we are looking for several treatment pedagogues who want to contribute with their knowledge and be the ones who stay.

As a treatment pedagogue, you work in a team with treatment assistants and treatment coordinators, and together you are responsible for ensuring that the young people and clients living with us receive the security, care, and treatment they need.

With the support of your knowledge in care and treatment work, you actively contribute to the fulfillment of treatment plans. Documentation is an important part of your work and contributes to legal security, planning, and follow-up of our operations. You help maintain safety according to our routines and contribute to the smooth running of daily activities such as schooling, cleaning, cooking, etc. Being a contact person is also one of your tasks. The work may also include mentoring new employees and interns. This is a job for you who see a positive challenge in working with vulnerable individuals in difficult life situations.
