The Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SiS) is a government agency responsible for individually adapted compulsory care for young people with complex psychosocial issues and for adults with substance abuse problems.

SiS Youth Home Långanäs receives non-compulsory school-age boys with psychosocial issues, criminality, and substance abuse.

Job Description

As a Treatment Assistant, you work in a team together with treatment educators and treatment coordinators. Together, you are responsible for ensuring that the young people (non-compulsory school-age boys) living at the home receive the safety, care, and treatment they need.

We often meet people in crisis, which means your work involves qualified nursing and motivational work, as well as providing support in daily life. Using your knowledge in care and treatment work, you actively contribute to the implementation of treatment plans. Documentation is a key part of your job, contributing to legal security, planning, and follow-up of our operations. You ensure that safety is maintained according to our routines and help ensure that daily life runs smoothly with activities such as school attendance, cleaning, and cooking.

Case management is also one of your duties. The role 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, which permeates our attitude, engagement, and approach.
