The temporary position runs from September 1 through December 31, 2026. With us you receive benefits that make a difference; read about the benefits here (https://regionuppsala.se/formaner/). Your Assignment As a counselor at the Youth Clinic in Uppsala City, you will primarily work with individual conversations with young people aged 12–22 who seek out the facility on their own. Young people come to the youth clinic for sexual, psychological, and/or social issues. Work at the youth clinic is always team-based, where the different professionals support each other to work holistically. An important part of the work is to assess the need for support and appropriate level of care, help the young person reach the right service, and create contacts and collaborations around the young person with, among others, parents, municipal services, social services, school, primary care, or psychiatry. You should have a good ability to meet young people in a curious and trustworthy manner and work with our mission, which primarily involves providing advice and support but also, based on a good alliance, can conduct limited treatment interventions in the field of sexual health. An important part of the work consists of outreach and preventive measures in the form of school visits and information about the clinic to both young people and professionals in the surrounding area. You will participate in joint supervision and meetings with other counselors at the youth clinics in the county. Our Operation The Youth Clinics in Uppsala County are part of the Primary Care and Health department at Region Uppsala. There are a total of 9 youth clinics in the county, and we serve young people aged 12–22 who seek help on their own. The clinics are often located in facilities connected to various health centers throughout the county but not always. At the clinics, a counselor works alongside a midwife and physician. We also have nurses and nursing assistants at some of our clinics. Together we help young people achieve good health physically, mentally, socially, and sexually. We strive to meet each young person respectfully and knowledgeably in a welcoming atmosphere. The youth clinic addresses young people directly and their specific needs. The youth clinic always works at the request of the young people themselves, and responsiveness to the young person is paramount. The Uppsala City clinic is located in pleasant, centrally located facilities in Uppsala. Your Qualifications We are looking for a counselor with several years of experience in psychosocial work with children and young people, preferably from social services and/or a youth clinic. It is an advantage if you are a licensed healthcare counselor, have basic psychotherapy training (level 1), and experience from treatment work. Sexual health expertise, such as good knowledge of LGBTQI+ issues, is of course highly advantageous when working at a youth clinic. Your Competencies As a person, you should be genuinely interested in working with young people, willing to work in interdisciplinary teams, and want to develop the operation. You are confident, communicative, and flexible in your professional role. Your ability to create contacts and collaborations with young people, parents, and other stakeholders is very important. We place great emphasis on personal suitability. Want to Know More? For more information, you are warmly welcome to contact Operations Manager Sara Dackmar at [email protected].
