Vacant job

Statens institutionsstyrelse (SiS) is a government agency responsible for providing individually tailored compulsory care for young people with complex psychosocial issues and for adults with substance abuse problems. SiS also executes closed youth care. We do this in youth homes and homes for adults with substance abuse issues across the country. Working at SiS offers you a thrilling challenge. Regardless of where you work within our organization or what role you hold, you help create life-changing change.

SiS Youth Home Ljungbacken receives boys aged 16 to 20. The institution is located in Uddevalla.

Job Description

Do you want to be part of creating life-changing change for vulnerable people? Then the role of Treatment Coordinator at SiS is a meaningful challenge. SiS Youth Home Ljungbacken is planning to launch a new discharge-preparatory unit outside the institution's grounds, as well as opening up our open places within the institution, and is therefore seeking a Treatment Coordinator. The position may initially involve working on a locked unit until the new discharge-preparatory unit is ready.

As a Treatment Coordinator on our discharge-preparatory unit, you will become an important part of the young person's path toward a more independent life. You will work in a team together with treatment pedagogues and a group leader. The unit is led by a unit manager. Together, you are responsible for ensuring that the young people living with us receive the safety, care, and treatment they need.

The unit is an open treatment unit and an important part of SiS's internal care chain, aimed at a gradual and structured transition from care in an institutional setting. The focus is on supporting the young person to establish and maintain functioning strategies and skills for life outside the institutional environment. Treatment activities consist mainly of skills training aimed at preparing the young person for a functioning life after discharge, both practically and socially.

As a Treatment Coordinator, you will plan, implement, and follow up on program activities. You conduct treatment conversations and have special responsibility for documentation and the forms and instruments used in treatment. You collaborate with various functions within the institution regarding mapping, creating, and following up on treatment plans. The role of Treatment Coordinator also includes extra responsibility for supervising new employees and interns. An important shared task for all employees is to contribute to creating a safe environment and ensuring that safety is maintained according to routines.

Qualifications

To succeed in your work, you have a solidly grounded positive view of humanity. You are motivated to help people in a vulnerable life situation and you share SiS's value base, which is to be a place for change. Furthermore, you have a good ability to create engagement and participation among our young people. As a person, you are confident in yourself and have an easy time building relationships with young people as well as with other members of the staff group. You have good communication skills and can maintain your calm even in pressurized situations. You collaborate easily with others and can handle conflicts in a constructive manner.

In your role as Treatment Coordinator, you will have individual responsibility for several interventions in the treatment plan as well as responsibilities on the unit that require experience and the ability to coordinate the work. You need to be good at planning and structuring your work, able to work independently, and take initiative. Since the treatment work is documented and discussed with several different actors, high demands are placed on good Swedish skills in both speech and writing. We will place great emphasis on personal suitability.

You must also have:

• Appropriate university education such as social worker, behavioral scientist, or other equivalent higher education, alternatively a 2-year university college degree as a treatment pedagogue with substantial experience in program activities
• Experience in conducting motivational and treatment work individually and/or in groups
• Valid driver's license (Category B)
• Good Swedish skills in speech and writing
