SiS also implements closed youth care. We do this at youth homes and homes for adults with substance abuse issues across the country. Working at SiS means your professional life will be an exciting challenge. No matter where you work in our organization or what role you have, you help create life-changing change.

Job Description

Do you want to be part of creating life-changing change for vulnerable people? Then the role of Treatment Pedagogue at SiS is a meaningful challenge. As a Treatment Pedagogue, you work in a team together with treatment assistants and treatment coordinators. Together, you are responsible for ensuring that the young people and clients living with us receive the safety, care, and treatment they need. We often encounter people in crisis, which means you will work with qualified nursing and motivational work, as well as providing support in daily life. With the help of your knowledge in care and treatment work, you actively contribute to the completion of treatment plans. Documentation is an important part of your job, contributing to legal security, planning, and follow-up of our operations. You contribute to maintaining safety according to our routines and help ensure that daily life flows smoothly with school attendance, cleaning, cooking, etc. Contact person responsibilities are also part of your duties. The job may also involve mentoring new employees and interns. This is a job for you if you see a positive challenge in working with vulnerable people in difficult life situations. The job is often demanding but also stimulating, joyful, and varied.

Our vision is to be a place for change, and this permeates our approach, our commitment, and our attitude.

Working hours are according to a night shift schedule.

As a new employee, you will undergo SiS basic training for 10 weeks. The training alternates between theory and supervised introduction, preparing you for the therapist role in SiS operations.
