Vacant job

At Viljan Närsjögläntan HVB, we have 8 places and work with girls aged 13-17 with psychosocial and neuropsychiatric difficulties.

The overall goal of the interventions offered at Närsjögläntan is that the girls, after their placement period, have increased opportunities to live an independent life. This often involves establishing good daily routines, receiving support and help to change behavioral problems, ensuring a good and regular school attendance, and improving physical and mental health.

Närsjögläntan HVB is located a few kilometers from the center of Falun. The houses are beautifully situated next to the Sundborn River where we have our own dock and swimming area with opportunities for swimming, canoeing, and barbecue evenings. We have a large garden with fruit trees, berry bushes, and opportunities for cultivation.

At Närsjögläntan HVB, all girls have their own room, sharing bathrooms and laundry facilities with a few other girls. In the large dining room, we eat all meals together. There are several other communal areas such as a kitchen, dining room, living room, TV room, and craft and game areas.

With us, you will work together in a team that collectively leads the youths' treatment processes forward. We work with commitment in everything concerning our youth. The job involves meeting people in crisis and/or with difficult life situations, and it is of great importance that you can see opportunities, convey hope, and meet people in a respectful and safe manner. Together with the youth, you create a functioning and secure everyday life.
