Job Description

Do you want to help create life-changing transformations for vulnerable people? Then the job as a treatment pedagogue with us at SiS Youth Home Fagared is a meaningful job for you. We are now strengthening our staff with more treatment pedagogues for our departments in Lindome.

In the departments in Lindome, we work to implement closed youth care for the target group of boys who have been sentenced to a criminal penalty under the law on closed youth care.

As a treatment pedagogue, you work in a team together with treatment assistants and treatment coordinators, and together you are responsible for ensuring that the young people living with us receive the safety, care, and treatment they need. We often meet people in crisis, which means you work with qualified care and motivational work and provide support in everyday life. With the support of your knowledge in care and treatment work, you actively contribute to the fulfillment of treatment plans and implementation plans. Documentation is an important part of your work and contributes to legal certainty, planning, and follow-up of our operations.

The work may also include mentoring new employees and interns.

This is a job for you who see a positive challenge in supporting young people in difficult life situations. The work can be demanding at times, but it is also very rewarding, varied, and filled with meaning. Our vision is to be a place for change. This shapes our approach, commitment, and attitude.
