Family Therapist for the High-Intensity Team, Angered

Description Our intensive team is part of the Child Resource Unit and works with the target group 0-18 years old and their families. The geographic focus is on Angered and is organized under the Family Reception and Child and Adult Resources department, which is part of the Social Administration Northeast. The Child Resource Unit's mission is to provide support and treatment services with a focus on the entire family and its network. The goal is to help families find strategies to manage difficulties, so that children and young people can remain in their home environment, function in preschool/school and in their leisure time. We meet families both in their homes and in the unit's own facilities. To make the work as successful as possible and with great involvement from the families, we work with feedback informed therapy (FIT) and with Signs of Safety as a platform. Work Tasks Our intensive team actively works to continuously develop our work by offering services in cases with high concern where there is a need for flexible and intensive interventions. The team originally consisted of four family therapists but over the years we have expanded with two additional positions. This is both to reduce vulnerability and to create space to also take on assignments with more "traditional" family therapy. This is part of creating a good and sustainable work environment with the possibility of variation in the position. As a family therapist in our intensive team, you are responsible for the entire intervention process in consultation with the case-managing social worker. For these complex and intensive home-based interventions to be shaped in the most useful way, we see that you will need to work actively to activate other parts of the network. You will be part of customizing interventions and will work to a great extent with colleagues from both the resource units and other operations that are needed to meet the families' needs. In addition to collegial support, you have access to method supervision, close management, and external process supervision. You are also offered training in, among other things, FIT, Feedback Informed Therapy and Signs of Safety. You will be able to influence your own working hours. We apply flexible hours but you need to be available based on the family's needs, which may mean you will need to work certain evenings and early mornings. Qualifications We are looking for someone who is a social worker or has other education that the employer deems equivalent. You have experience in family therapy and good knowledge of the social service's service provider and public authority functions. You are trained in methods aimed at children, young people and their parents with a focus on both strengthening interaction and developing parenting strategies. If you have further education or experience working with children 4-10 years old, this is a merit. Further education in systems theory as well as experience and training in the field of "Intimate partner violence" are also desirable, as well as training in working with networks. Since documentation is part of the work, it is important that you have good ability to express yourself in speech and writing as well as basic computer skills. For this role, it is important that you are committed to meeting families in a way that creates a trustworthy collaboration. You are flexible and work consciously to utilize the resources that exist in families' networks. You are stable and confident and have good collaboration skills both with families, colleagues, public authority-exercising social workers, and external operations. We support each other in our mission and see it as a competence to be able to ask for help. Because we work with complex cases with high concern, it is important that you are analytical and can quickly identify the core of a problem, see connections and based on that propose possible solutions. We see innovative thinking, diversity and collaboration as prerequisites for success. We warmly welcome your application!
