The Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SiS) is a government agency responsible for individualized compulsory care for young people with complex psychosocial problems and for adults with substance abuse issues. SiS also operates closed youth care facilities. We do this through youth homes and homes for adults with substance abuse problems across the country. At SiS, your working life becomes an exciting challenge. Regardless of where you work in our organization or what role you have, you help create life-changing change.

SiS Youth Home Bergsmansgården receives non-compulsory school-age girls. We have operations in Fjugesta, three miles west of Örebro, and a satellite unit in Granhult, three miles north of Lindesberg. The girls come to us due to psychosocial issues and problems with crime or drug abuse.

Job Description

Do you want to be part of creating life-changing change for vulnerable people? Then the job as a Treatment Pedagogue at SiS is a meaningful challenge. As a Treatment Pedagogue, you work in a team together with treatment assistants and treatment coordinators. Together, you are responsible for ensuring that the young people and clients living with us receive the security, care, and treatment they need.

We often meet people in crisis, which means you work with qualified nursing and motivational work, as well as providing support in daily life. With the support of your knowledge in care and treatment work, you actively contribute to the implementation of treatment plans. Documentation is an important part of your job and contributes to legal security, planning, and follow-up of our operations. You contribute to maintaining security according to our routines and help ensure that daily life runs smoothly with school, cleaning, cooking, etc. Contact person duties are also part of your responsibilities.

This is a job for you who sees 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, and this permeates our approach, engagement, and attitude. As a new employee, you will undergo SiS basic training. The training alternates between theory and supervised introduction, equipping you for the treatment role in SiS operations.

At SiS, we care about good employee relations. This means that you, as an employee, take responsibility for your work, contribute to development, and participate in good cooperation.
