JOB DESCRIPTION

Do you want a job where you can change lives, strengthen families, and contribute to a safer upbringing for children and youth? Then the position of family therapist in the open care in Bräcke municipality may be right for you!

We are now looking for a driven and committed family therapist who wants to help create sustainable change. As a family therapist in Bräcke municipality, you work closely with children, youth, and their families in need of support and change. The work is based on evidence-based methods and proven experiences. The content of the treatment work is individually adapted based on the needs of the child and family and is shaped together with the family based on the assignment. We work both in teams and individually. You meet families both in their home environment and in our facilities, focusing on relationships, safety, and development. The goal is to increase protective factors, reduce risk factors, and to provide families with support and help in their home environment as much as possible. An important part of this is to involve the network.

The tasks include, among other things:

• Working therapeutically and supportively with children, youth, and their parents
• Conducting structured conversations, interventions, and follow-ups
• Strengthening parental skills and communication within the family
• Working more practically and concretely where there is a need for family therapy with a more pedagogical focus.
• Collaborating with schools and other key actors
• Documenting and following up on interventions according to applicable guidelines

As a family therapist, you will be an important part of a context where you are not alone but work together with competent and engaged colleagues. The organization is in an exciting development phase where we focus on strengthening and adapting our work in line with the new social services act. This means that you will be involved in developing the unit's work with, among other things, more accessible support.

Is this you?
