Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone who lives here today and in the future. Now we are looking for you who want to think big, new, and different with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Workplace Description

Södermalm Youth Clinic serves young people aged 12–22. The clinic is operated in collaboration with Region Stockholm and is staffed by four counselors employed by the City of Stockholm, four midwives, and doctors employed by Region Stockholm. The premises are centrally located between Slussen and Mariatorget. The clinic is HBTQ-certified, and we work from a norm-critical perspective in our meetings with visitors. During autumn 2026, we will introduce a new medical record system and a digital booking system.

Job Description

At Södermalm Youth Clinic, you will work in a group consisting of counselors, midwives, and doctors. As a counselor, you will primarily work with individual support conversations with young people, although conversations with guardians, relatives, and partners also occur. As a counselor, you provide support and counseling on issues such as mental health, identity, relationships, and sexuality. The clinic also offers support and treatment to groups of young people.

Employees at Södermalm Youth Clinic have developed a method called "Kasam," which aims to increase young people's sense of coherence. It is a structured method directed toward a specific treatment goal and includes assessment, evaluation, and follow-up.

An important part of the role involves outward-facing work in the form of holding presentations and lectures, for example, for school classes on study visits. You need to be comfortable speaking in front of others.

To succeed in the role of a counselor, you must be able to work independently and have strong collaboration skills. You need to be able to collaborate and plan together with colleagues from other professions. The clinic is well-visited, and during certain periods, the demand is high; therefore, you must be able to prioritize and define the boundaries of your work to succeed in the role.

Qualifications

• Social Work degree (Social worker).
• Basic education in psychotherapy, step 1.
• Experience working independently with treatment aimed at teenagers.

Education in sexology is an advantage. Great importance will be placed on personal suitability.

Other Information

The clinic is open until 19:00 on Tuesdays, and you must be available to work during these hours.

Before any potential employment, you must provide a certificate of good conduct (extract from the criminal record).

Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis, so do not wait to submit your application!

The City of Stockholm works with competency-based recruitment aimed at assessing each person's skills and thereby combating discrimination.
