Job Description

Take the opportunity to try an interesting summer temporary position as a treatment assistant at SiS.

You contribute to maintaining safety in the institution according to our routines. Documentation is an important part of your work. You will work on building good treatment relationships and contribute to ensuring that our youth and clients receive the safety and security they need to break ingrained behaviors. Together with your team of dedicated colleagues, such as treatment educators and treatment coordinators, you have the opportunity to achieve good results and contribute to change. The job is often demanding but also stimulating, joyful, and varied.
