Treatment Pedagogue at SiS Youth Home Hässleholm

The Swedish National Board of Institutional Care, SiS, is an authority responsible for individually tailored compulsory care for young people with complex psychosocial issues and for adults with substance abuse. SiS also implements secure youth care. 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 Hässleholm is a locked institution with four treatment departments, two departments for reception and needs assessment (MBB), and an open TFCO unit. We primarily receive school-age boys but also girls, who are engaged in ongoing criminal activities and, in some cases, substance abuse.

Job Description

Do you want to be part of creating life-changing transformations for vulnerable people? Then the job as a treatment pedagogue at SiS is a meaningful challenge. You will work in a team with trained treatment pedagogues and an operational leader, and together you are responsible for ensuring that the young people living with us receive the safety, care, and treatment they need. Documentation is an important part of your work, contributing to legal security, planning, and follow-up of our operations. You contribute to maintaining safety according to our routines and participate in working towards a constantly better SiS.

We are now looking for new staff for the night shift, as we have the opportunity to expand our team.

Our operations run 24/7, and as a night worker, you are responsible for the well-being and safety of the young people, focusing primarily on promoting their sleep routines and being there for them when needed. Nighttime is often the most challenging time of day for many, and sleep problems are very common among our youth, making a reliable adult who can offer support in the form of conversation or other means a crucial piece of the puzzle. The work can vary significantly in intensity from very calm nights to nights that demand a lot from you as a treatment pedagogue.

You will always work awake nights with us on shifts scheduled between 21:00-08:00 on weekdays and 20:45-08:15 on weekends. You will work according to a rolling schedule in a team with several other treatment assistants and pedagogues. The current schedule is under revision, and there may be some changes in the timings in the future.

As night staff, you have a workload of 78.01%.

This is a job for you who see a positive challenge in working with vulnerable people in difficult life situations. The job is often demanding but also stimulating, joyful, and varied.

Your work may also include mentoring new employees.

Qualifications

To succeed in your role, you have a solid positive view of humanity. You are motivated to help people in vulnerable life situations and share SiS's values, being a place for change. Furthermore, you have a good ability to create engagement and participation among our youth. As a person, you are secure in yourself and have an easy time building relationships with both the youth and other staff members. You have good communication skills and can remain calm even in pressured situations. You collaborate well with others and can handle conflicts constructively.

You should also have:

• A 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 an education from a university that we assess as equivalent.
• A valid driver's license (B)
• Good Swedish language skills in both spoken and written form

In this position, we require that you have prior experience with night work in a similar field.

At SiS, we care about good employee relations. This means that you, as an employee, take responsibility for your work, contribute to development, and participate in good cooperation. Read more about our employee relations.
