Job Responsibilities

What does the role entail?

The role of a treatment pedagogue involves being a stable support in the daily lives of the young people. As a treatment pedagogue, you work both awake nights and sleeping on-call shifts according to a schedule. During awake nights, you are responsible for routine and unforeseen tasks, such as providing support to young people who need help during the night. During sleeping on-call shifts, you are on standby and can be woken if needed to support the awake staff. Regardless of the role, you contribute to safety, calm, and security for the young people.

Work at Söderåsen is based on a milieu therapeutic approach, where secure adult relationships and predictable structures 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 feel well and develop, both in their current situation and in the long term.

The position is 70% with a start date by agreement. Working hours are from 20:00 to 09:00. Introduction takes place during daytime hours. Probationary employment may apply.

You are confident in yourself, can maintain calm in challenging situations, and have the ability to build trusting relationships. In your interactions with the young people, you see opportunities and can convey hope. You have a good ability to reflect on your work and collaborate well with others.
