About the Position

SiS Youth Home Råby admits both girls and boys. We have both closed and open places for closed youth care as well as treatment places for young people placed under the Young Persons Act (LVU).

Job Description

Do you want to help create the life-changing difference for vulnerable people? Then the job as a Treatment Assistant at SiS is a meaningful challenge. The goal of your assignment is to motivate our young people and clients to new and less risky ways of living. As a Treatment Assistant, you are employed to provide care and treatment. You contribute to ensuring that routines on the ward function smoothly and play a major role in the stability and security of our young people and clients. You handle the basics of daily life, such as school attendance, cleaning, cooking, etc. You help maintain order and security on the institution according to our routines. Documentation is an important part of your work.

You will work on building secure relationships and contributing to our young people and clients receiving the security and safety needed to break habitual behaviors. Together with your team of dedicated colleagues, such as treatment pedagogues and treatment coordinators, you have the opportunity to achieve good results and contribute to change. 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, our engagement, and our attitude.

Working hours are according to a schedule including days, evenings, and weekends. As a new employee, you will undergo SiS's basic training for 10 weeks. The training alternates between theory and guided introduction, preparing you for the treatment role in SiS operations.

Qualifications

Your personal suitability is the key to life-changing change. Therefore, you need to have a good ability to create engagement and participation. It is equally important that you have a solid positive view of humanity, great empathetic ability, and the ability to build good relationships. You have good communication skills and can maintain your calm even in pressured situations. You also have the ability to collaborate with others and are willing to share your knowledge with colleagues.
