Three positions left, seize the opportunity and secure your summer job!

For our operations within HVB and social psychiatric support, we are now looking for a number of positive and trustworthy summer substitutes. Our summer job periods are between weeks 26-33, and there may be an opportunity to start on a temporary contract as early as spring.

Do you want to improve the everyday life for both youth and individuals with mental health issues? Are you a supportive person who can also set boundaries? Do you enjoy working independently? Then you could be one of the substitutes we are looking for!

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Ungbo

Ungbo HVB is a housing solution in central Mariestad for boys and girls aged 13 - 20 years. We cater to youth whose home environment, social issues, or conflicts make it impossible to have a functioning everyday life at home. In our unit, we have four places plus a support apartment. We strive to contribute to changed, improved, and lasting living conditions for the youth, and we want to create opportunities for the youth and their families to find new tools for interaction.

Together with the client, the youth, and guardians, we design an individual treatment plan at the HVB home. The treatment focuses on providing our youth with a safe base where your tasks involve creating a clear everyday structure and secure relationships with stable adults.

Mobile Support, Social Psychiatry

In the support role, you facilitate everyday life at home for individuals with mental health issues. Your tasks will involve working in an investigative, supportive, and motivating manner to strengthen the individual's own resources for an independent life and active participation in society. Together with the individual, you plan and structure their everyday life, leisure, and activities. Your mission will be to train the individual to perform their daily tasks more independently. You will also serve as social support in contacts with various authorities and relatives.

For both operations, irregular working hours may occur. We work both during the day, evenings, weekends, nights, and on-call.

QUALIFICATIONS

To fit as a summer substitute, we are looking for someone with relevant education, such as social pedagogy, treatment pedagogy, or another behavioral science education. We prefer that you have previous experience working with children and youth or other individuals who require special support. Experience working in a low-arousal manner within social work is an asset.

As a person, we see that you can work independently while also being able to collaborate easily with other colleagues, care staff, nurses, and others. You should be confident in yourself and have a calm and stable demeanor. It is important that you are attentive and can meet the individual where they are and understand the difficulties that may exist. You should be able to make independent decisions and solve various situations based on each individual's circumstances and needs.

You are expected to have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written, as documentation is part of the job.

We will prioritize substitutes who can be flexible and work in both Ungbo and support roles and who enjoy working with both older and younger target groups. We will also prioritize those who can work irregular hours since we serve both during the day, evenings, weekends, nights, and on-call.

A driving license (B) is required.

We handle applications on an ongoing basis, which means that interviews may occur before the application deadline. When you apply, we would like a CV that outlines your previous qualifications. You may exclude the personal letter; instead, you will answer some selection questions. We place great importance on personal qualities. During the recruitment process, we will take references, and before offering a summer job, we will require a criminal record extract.

Warm welcome to your application!
