Treatment Pedagogue at SiS Youth Home Fagared

The Swedish National Board of Institutional Care, SiS, is an authority responsible for individually tailored compulsory care for young people and adults with substance abuse. We do this at youth homes and homes for adults with substance abuse across the country. At SiS, your work life will be an exciting challenge. No matter where in our organization you work or what position you hold, you help create life-changing transformations.

SiS Youth Home Fagared receives non-school-age boys with psychosocial problems, criminality, and substance abuse. We have departments in Lindome, Öxnevalla, and Gothenburg.

Job Description

We are now looking for treatment pedagogues for our open department Falkgatan in central Gothenburg. The role of a treatment pedagogue is challenging and complex but also very rewarding.

As a treatment pedagogue at Falkgatan, you will plan and be responsible for the daily operations together with your colleague. The youth residing at Falkgatan are at the end of their stay at SiS and need to be prepared to reintegrate into society. The tasks are varied and require high levels of collaboration, commitment, and independence. In your role as a treatment pedagogue, you will support the youth in their daily lives, helping them make prosocial choices for the future. Daily tasks include practical activities such as cleaning and cooking.

The target group for the department is boys aged 16-21 who are taken into care according to the LVU.

Working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, and weekends.

To succeed in your work, you have a well-founded positive view of humanity. You are motivated to help people in vulnerable life situations and share SiS's core values of being a place for change. You have a strong ability to create engagement and participation among our youth and/or clients. As a person, you are self-assured and have an easy time building good therapeutic relationships. You possess good communication skills and can remain calm even in stressful situations. You collaborate well with others and can handle conflicts constructively.

Personal Qualities:

You need to be a responsible, positive, and resilient person with a strong ability to set boundaries. We expect you to be structured yet flexible, as the work requires both long-term planning and the ability to act quickly in unexpected situations.

A significant part of the work involves motivational work, which means you need to have patience and a pedagogical approach. In stressful situations, you can act calmly, controlled, and professionally.

All care and treatment interventions are documented daily, which means you need to express yourself well in writing.

Qualifications

• Completed upper secondary education
• Degree from a 2-year post-secondary education at a folk high school or vocational college (KY/YH) with a focus on social/pedagogical treatment work or a degree from a university deemed equivalent by the employer.
• Driver's license B
• Good Swedish language skills in both spoken and written form

Experience with the target group, working with reintegration activities, and networking with external parties is an advantage.

Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.

You share our vision of being a place for change, which permeates your approach, engagement, and attitude.

Employment

The position is a permanent full-time employment starting with a six-month probationary period. Start date according to agreement.
