Vacant job

Are you longing for a meaningful job where you can make a real difference together with others? Do you want to work in a non-profit organization where the individual is always in focus?

We are looking for summer substitutes for our residences at Mikaelgården!

Mikaelgården offers housing for children and young people within the framework of LSS (Support and Service Act for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) and HVB (Hem för vård eller boende – Home for care or residence), and operates a primary school and a special needs school. We are a non-profit, healing-pedagogical operation, and our school has a Waldorf orientation.

At Mikaelgården, we have created a therapeutic environment for children who need more than temporary point interventions. The students, who are of primary school age, come from all over the country and display a broad spectrum of different psychological and social functional variations. Common diagnoses include ADD, ADHD, Autism, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Tourette's syndrome.

We are looking for you who are educated in the field; assistant nurse, social pedagogue, treatment assistant, leisure-time pedagogue, social worker, behavioral scientist, or other similar education.

About Mikaelgården

Mikaelgården is located in a beautiful natural setting a bit outside Järna center. Teaching facilities, assembly hall, dining room, and residences are all located in the same area, forming a living context, which creates a special sense of security and belonging.

There are seven residences at Mikaelgården in close proximity to the school. In each residence live 4–5 children/young people. Three of our residences have permits according to LSS and four have permits for HVB.

We offer a warm and pleasant atmosphere with a clear daily rhythm. Here, opportunities are given for social training, but also practice in everything related to the practical chores of daily life. Our basic idea is to strengthen the child's inherent abilities, and we are convinced that there are great development possibilities within every individual. We work individually with all children to create security, wholeness, context, and development.
