Vacant job

About the Organization:

Dormsjöskolan is a residential care home (HVB) for boys aged 7–23.

We are located in Southern Dalarna, just north of Hedemora, and operate our own independent school. Children and young people live in five beautifully situated houses, close to a lovely swimming lake and exciting forests. Here, there are opportunities for fun activities, quiet moments, and supportive adults to lean on.

Target Group:

Boys with neurodevelopmental disorders as well as social and emotional difficulties.

We are licensed to care for 28 children/young people. Our license covers placements supported by the Social Services Act (SoL), the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU), and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS).

Job Description:

The foundation of our approach is to create predictability and routines in a structured environment by giving the day, week, and year a clear, recurring structure.

We map out each child's or young person's abilities and challenges. This assessment and care plan form the basis for an implementation plan tailored to the individual's needs.

The work primarily involves treatment and motivational support for the children and young people. Personal care is also part of the daily tasks.

The goal is to help children and young people achieve an independent life with a functioning school attendance.

Treatment work is individually adapted based on each child's or young person's needs and preconditions.

Some of the methods we use include social skills training, anger management, low-arousal approaches, comic strip conversations, social stories, and visual picture support.

We are looking for someone who is creative, enjoys physical activity, is passionate about working with children and young people with special needs, and is skilled at building trusting and good relationships.

The job requires you to be confident, solution-focused, stress-tolerant, and have great patience.

Education: A degree in social pedagogy or therapeutic pedagogy, or equivalent education, is desirable.

In the event of employment, an extract from the criminal record and suspicion register is required.

Recruitment is ongoing. Please mark your application with "permanent".
