Job Description

Take the opportunity to try an interesting summer position as a treatment assistant at SiS.

SiS Youth Home Fagared is now looking for treatment assistants for summer positions at our departments in Lindome. At the departments in Lindome, we work to implement closed youth care for the target group of boys who have been sentenced to a criminal sanction under the law on closed youth care. We also have a treatment department with a particularly enhanced mission where we receive young people with extensive psychiatric and neuropsychiatric issues, including a combination of autism, intellectual disabilities, ADHD, PTSD, self-harming behavior, and severe outwardly aggressive behavior.

The goal of your assignment is to motivate our youth to new and less risky ways of living. As a treatment assistant, you will help ensure that the routines in the department function as they should. You play a significant role in providing stability and security for our youth and are responsible for the basics of daily life such as schooling, cleaning, cooking, and more. Since SiS Youth Home Fagared receives young people who have been sentenced to a criminal sanction under the law on closed youth care, it means that you need to work with a high level of risk and safety awareness. You contribute to maintaining safety in accordance with our written instructions and routines.

This is a job for you who can stand firm, creating safety and security in the often very difficult life situations of the youth. The job is often demanding but also stimulating, joyful, and varied.

Our core values are Respect, Care, and Clarity.

We want to reward you who help us during the summer period, therefore you who work full-time as a monthly employed substitute for more than four weeks will receive a bonus.

Qualifications

Your personal suitability is key to life-changing transformations. Therefore, you need to have a good ability to create engagement and participation. Equally important is that you have a solid positive view of people, a strong empathetic ability, and the capacity to build good treatment relationships. You have good communication skills and can maintain your calm even in pressured situations. You should also have:

  • Completed and approved high school education
  • B driver's license
  • Very good Swedish in speech and writing as the job may involve some documentation and contact with other authorities
  • Experience in youth-related work or work with people in vulnerable life situations, e.g., from psychiatry, HVB operations, or from care and support.

According to the new Social Services Ordinance (2025:468), you who work with care and treatment for young people must also have at least a 2-year post-secondary education at a folk high school or vocational college (KY/YH) or other education that corresponds to this. The education should be focused on social work, social pedagogy, behavioral science, or another relevant subject area. Exceptions to the requirement for at least a two-year post-secondary education can be made in individual cases.

Employment

The position is a fixed-term employment for the summer. It is desirable and advantageous if you can start working as a part-time employee before the summer period.

Working hours: Irregular working hours according to schedule. Either day, evening, and weekend, or night shifts on weekdays and weekends.

As a summer substitute, you will undergo an adapted introductory training of 5 days. You must be able to participate in this introductory training to work with us.

Application

Welcome to register your application in our recruitment tool by March 31, 2026. Interviews will be conducted on March 27 and April 16.

SiS actively works against all forms of discrimination and welcomes all applicants.

For work at our institutions, SiS conducts background checks before employment.
