About Solbacken Solbacken is a residential care home for children ages 10-14 with psychosocial and/or neuropsychiatric difficulties, children with complex behavioral problems, and children with externalizing behaviors.

You are receptive to feedback and participate regularly in supervision. As an employee, you are a role model and example in the child's learning of new and more effective behaviors. Through your way of acting, communicating, and managing emotions, you show the child alternative strategies and paths to change. Your treatment-focused work includes, among other things: - Planning and implementing environmental therapeutic work based on CBT and behavior analysis. - Overseeing daily planning and creating clear, predictable routines adapted to the child's needs and abilities. - Holding regular check-in conversations (primary contact conversations) with focus on: Skills training, Behavior activation, Regulating activities (e.g., emotion management, problem-solving, recovery). - Supporting the child in developing more effective behaviors through positive reinforcement, modeling, and guidance in daily life. - Conducting behavioral observations, working with applied behavior analysis (ABA) to understand the relationships between situation, behavior, and consequence, documenting according to applicable legislation and facility procedures. As a primary contact person, you are the one who holds together the child's daily and treatment-focused process. You contribute to the child's development by combining structure, empathy, and reflection in everything you do. Working hours follow a rotating 6-week schedule with variation in day, evening, weekend, and on-call shifts occurring regularly. We also have employees who work night shifts.
