Job Responsibilities

What does the role entail?

As a Treatment Coordinator, you conduct qualified treatment work based on the young people's implementation plans and on behalf of the social services. You are the contact person and are responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on interventions, as well as documentation and quality development. You work closely with the young people in their daily lives and maintain contact with relatives and other key actors such as schools and healthcare. You also participate in meetings with the social services.

The work at Söderåsen is based on a milieu therapeutic approach, where secure adult relationships and a predictable structure create conditions for the young people to grow and develop. We use Motivational Interviewing (MI), a low-affective approach, and a trauma-informed approach (TMO). The goal is for the young people to feel safe, seen, and to receive the tools they need to thrive and develop, both in their current situation and in the long term. The position includes regular external supervision and continuous training initiatives.

The position is full-time with scheduled working hours that include evenings and weekends. No night shifts; you will work 2 out of 5 weekends. Onboarding takes place during the day. Probation may apply. Start date by agreement.
