Job Description

SiS Youth Home Tysslinge is a high-security institution that accommodates youth at high risk for threats, violence, and absconding. The institution has a total of seven departments that receive youth placed under the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) and youth sentenced under the Act on Secure Youth Care (LSU). One of the departments consists of places for youth who are cared for in isolation (VIE) for a period. The majority of our youth are often in a legal process or already convicted of serious crimes and have connections to criminal networks.

In the role of treatment pedagogue, you work in a team and together you are responsible for ensuring that the youth in our care receive the structure, safety, care, and treatment they need. We meet youth in crisis, which means we must support the individual in their daily life through individually tailored and qualified care and motivational work with clear structures. With the support of your and your colleagues' knowledge in care and treatment work, you actively contribute to the implementation of treatment plans. Documentation is an important part of your work for planning and follow-up of treatment. During the day, you also function as a teaching assistant and participate in the youth's schooling and leisure activities.

Since SiS Youth Home Tysslinge has the highest security classification within SiS, it means that you need to work with a high level of risk awareness. You contribute to maintaining safety in accordance with our written instructions and routines.

This is a job for you who can stand firm and want to create safety and security in the youth's often very difficult life situations. The job is often demanding but also stimulating, joyful, and varied. It involves conflict management and, in some cases, physical interventions, which you as an employee will receive mandatory training in. As a public servant, it is important that you act professionally and in accordance with objectivity and legal security. You share our vision of being a place for change, which permeates our approach, commitment, and attitude.

As a new employee, you will undergo SiS basic training. The training combines theory with a guided introduction and prepares you for the treatment role in SiS operations.

The employment begins with a mandatory introductory week, which is a prerequisite for starting work in the department. The training will take place on-site at Tysslinge.
