Vacant job

Do you want to help change the lives of young people?

Ung 24 holds a permit from IVO (Swedish Health and Care Services Supervision) to provide outpatient treatment for children and young people aged 12–25. Our services target children and young people who have been exposed to unsuitable environments or exhibit norm-breaking and/or criminal behavior (e.g., those who have committed minor offenses, experimented with drugs, or displayed threatening behavior). Ung 24 also operates a foster care service combined with youth treatment, family treatment, and contact person support.

About Us:

Ung 24 is growing rapidly, and we are therefore looking for a part-time Youth Worker to join our team immediately. Our team has many years of experience working with children and young people in criminal environments. The team includes various roles such as contact persons, youth workers, family therapists, and foster care consultants.

The nature of the intervention varies depending on the situation. Some young people live at home, and we conduct our work in their home or local environment. Others are placed in emergency or foster homes, and the work is carried out in close proximity to these placements.

What is common to all cases is that every young person has a contact person and/or youth worker for a set number of hours each week, and all meetings are individual. We do not work with our young people in groups.

About You:

As a youth worker at Ung 24, you must be independent, flexible, solution-focused, skilled at building alliances, and capable of juggling multiple tasks.

You have experience working with children and young people in treatment, support, or social work contexts. You must be able to work independently. We also look for someone with a genuine interest in the child/young person behind the criminal attitude, who is persistent in their role but knows when to change tactics.

You may need to drive frequently for this role, so you must be confident and comfortable with driving. You may also need to travel to neighboring municipalities.

Your Responsibilities:

• Take initiative and build valuable relationships.
• Have training in one of our treatment methods: rePULSE, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Crime as a Lifestyle (KSL), or Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT).
• Participate in physical activities, such as gym sessions or training.
• Conduct urine tests.
• Support the child/young person in finding a healthy social network outside of the intervention.
• Participate in regular follow-ups with social services and schools.
• Write monthly reports.
• Write implementation plans.
• Document all contacts with young people in our system, Infosoc.
• Be available to work evenings and weekends to accommodate the young people's schedules.

We Offer:

• Meaningful work where you make a long-term difference for children and young people.
• Hourly wage.
• Continuous supervision.
• Flexible working hours.

Requirements:

• Degree in Social Work, Social Pedagogy, or an equivalent education.
• Valid driver's license (Category B) and access to a car.
• Experience in youth work.
• Fluent in Swedish, both spoken and written.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability. We do not accept any form of recruitment assistance during the process.

Ung 24 is a Stockholm-based company, so most communication with management will be digital.
