Unit for Social Interventions for Children and Young People – Temporary Positions Available

The Unit for Social Interventions for Children and Young People is a service provider within the Individual and Family Care (IFO). IFO also includes the Child and Family Unit, the Unit for Social Interventions for Adults, and the Reception and Prevention Unit.

The Unit for Social Interventions for Children and Young People is primarily responsible for interventions directed towards children, young people, and their families. Currently, the unit operates two youth residences: Kompassen and Talgoxen. Kompassen is a treatment home for young people with neuropsychiatric disabilities (NPD) and social difficulties. Talgoxen is a support residence for young people. Furthermore, the unit is responsible for IFO's outpatient care, which is provided to families, children, and young people, where family therapists work.

The unit strives to meet individual needs and provide high-quality care. IFO aims for a cohesive care chain and has good opportunities to achieve this through its own outpatient care for both young people and adults.

Job Responsibilities

The position may involve work in all of the unit's operations.

At our residences:
The work involves qualified nursing and motivational efforts focused on supporting clients in their daily lives and development. This includes providing support and guidance in everyday life and actively contributing to creating a safe, secure, and caring environment in the home. The role also involves making clients participants in daily activities and chores at home.

The assignment includes planning and carrying out daily operations based on the clients' needs, where structure and predictability are central components. The work also includes responsibility for ongoing documentation.

Furthermore, the work includes practical tasks related to household maintenance, such as shopping, cooking, and cleaning, where users are involved and given the opportunity to learn everyday skills. An important part of the role is also to contribute to creating and maintaining structure in the operations and to ensure that the work is carried out in accordance with established routines and safety regulations.

In outpatient care:
Our outpatient interventions are adapted to the individual's needs, and the assignment therefore varies from case to case. The work is planned and carried out based on the assignment received by the unit. Work in the client's home may occur in outpatient interventions.
