Family Counselor Wanted at Familjeterapeuterna Syd in Uppsala

The founder Johan Hagström established Familjeterapeuterna Syd AB in 2012 with the aim of creating an innovative treatment approach based on the principles of respect, transparency, and joy. The intention is for clients to receive personal service, short waiting times, and practitioners who have chosen to join us to grow with their contemporaries. The path to achieving this goal is to network and collaborate with actors in related industries. The ambition is to be present both nationally and internationally.

As a former Soul Care Provider, Psychotherapist, and Supervisor, Johan wanted to seize the opportunity to develop his own care company. The philosophy that Johan works by is that it is possible to create an accepting and open atmosphere in treatment operations where employees, consultants, and clients are given the opportunity to grow and develop.

The people who come to our organization should feel welcome, listened to, and treated with warmth and respect. Thanks to our work on behalf of various clients, clients can come privately, via referrals from Health Centers and Psychiatry, or through agreements with municipalities and companies. This provides everyone with the opportunity to access Family Counseling and Psychotherapy.

Welcome to Familjeterapeuterna Syd as well.

About the Job

We at Familjeterapeuterna Syd are looking for a part-time Family Counselor for our clinic in Uppsala.

In this position, you will have the opportunity to work in a growing company that focuses on psychological and psychotherapeutic treatment, assessment, organization, and leadership.

About the Company

We are a growing company with about 25 employees located in several locations primarily in southern and central Sweden. The clinics are centrally located near train and bus stations in the area. Our philosophy is to reach people of different ages in collaboration with municipalities, businesses, and regions. Our guiding principles are respect, transparency, and joy.

We have an established administration and HR function that ensures, controls, and facilitates the work for our practitioners. We have regular meetings where we meet regionally to review the work environment, tasks, and workload.

Development, Salary, and Benefits

Education and continuing education are important to us and our practitioners, which is why we offer training with both internal and external speakers at regular intervals. Education is compensated with educational salary. All company staff and consultants meet physically at the beginning of September in Helsingborg for a kick-off after the summer.

We have developed manuals and policies regarding work environment, employment conditions, illness, and fire safety. We are connected to occupational health services via Qurant and the work environment tool Webropol. We provide wellness benefits of 1000 SEK per year for full-time employees.
