Workplace Description

The National Board of Institutional Care (SiS) is an authority responsible for individualized compulsory care for young people and adults with substance abuse issues. We operate this through specialized youth homes and LVM (Compulsory Care for Substance Abuse) homes across the country. SiS also implements closed youth care and funds research to develop care and treatment. Regardless of where you work within our organization or what role you hold, you help create life-changing change.

SiS Youth Home Bärby, located outside Uppsala, receives non-compulsory school-age boys with psychosocial issues, as well as criminal and substance abuse problems, sexually boundary-crossing behavior, and boys with special supervision needs. The institution also has a department for reception and needs assessment.

We now wish to strengthen the institution with a committed nurse. The institution works from a central quality unit with treatment secretaries and a healthcare organization consisting of nurses, psychologists, and consulting physicians. Organizationally, the nurse reports to the Quality Manager and has significant responsibility and influence regarding the young people's healthcare needs.

Job Description

As a nurse at SiS Youth Home Bärby, you collaborate with other professions in an important societal mission that contributes to change. Here, you serve as a support function for the treatment staff regarding issues related to the young person's healthcare needs. Main areas of responsibility and work include medication management, health assessments, nursing interventions, and collaboration with both internal and external parties concerning healthcare during admission, during the care period, and prior to discharge or transfer within SiS. You also participate in the student health team.

Qualifications

• Licensed nurse with a few years of experience.
• Experience with documentation and medical record writing.
• Good knowledge of the Swedish language.

Especially relevant experience includes working with young people in psychiatry, addiction services, or student health. It is important that you have an interest in working with young people with behavioral issues and that you are skilled at establishing cooperation with both young people and staff. You must have good abilities to plan and organize your work, as well as the capacity to reprioritize based on emerging needs.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability. We are looking for someone with high personal maturity, who is secure and stable. You communicate clearly, are a good listener, and are affirming in your approach to young people. You are able to build alliances and create collaborations with young people exhibiting challenging behaviors, and can inspire trust and confidence in them.

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