SiS Youth Home Stigby seeks Treatment Secretary

Description:

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service (Statens institutionsstyrelse, SiS) is a government agency responsible for individually adapted compulsory care for youth with complex psychosocial problems and for adults with substance abuse. SiS also carries out closed youth care. We do this at youth homes and facilities for adults with substance abuse throughout the country. At SiS, your working life will be an exciting challenge. Regardless of where in our organization you work or what position you hold, you help create vital change. SiS Youth Home Stigby on Visingsö has space for 35 youth and receives non-compulsory school-age boys with psychosocial problems, criminal behavior, and substance abuse. We are divided into one intake and needs assessment unit, four treatment units, and one discharge preparation unit in Jönköping. Job Description Do you want to help create vital change for vulnerable people? Then the position of Treatment Secretary at SiS is a meaningful challenge! You will be part of the team on our intake and needs assessment unit together with another treatment secretary, a unit manager, and a group leader. Conducting needs assessments will therefore be your main responsibility, focusing on early identification of youth's needs and providing recommendations for continued interventions to social services. However, all treatment secretaries work in teams and help each other based on workload and tasks on other units within the treatment secretary's areas of responsibility. Organizationally, you will belong to an institution-wide team with five treatment secretaries, three psychologists, two nurses, and a quality coordinator. In the fall of 2026, the team will also be expanded with three family therapists. The team is led by the institution's quality director. Your main responsibility is to coordinate the treatment of youth at the institution. You will be responsible for coordinating the work of treatment teams and, together with unit management, ensure that the intentions of the treatment plan are followed and monitored in daily operations, as well as maintain contact with social services and other important parties around the youth. Treatment secretaries lead and convene treatment teams, develop treatment plans, and are responsible for documenting implemented treatment interventions and supporting treatment staff in daily work. The treatment secretary plays an important role in ensuring that clients receive quality, individually adapted interventions based on their circumstances and needs, and works closely with other professionals at the institution such as treatment staff, nurses, educators, and psychologists. A central task in treatment teams is working with risk and needs assessments to identify youth's risk and protective factors and direct treatment toward the right areas. The treatment secretary has primary responsibility for risk and needs assessment work together with the institution's psychologists. The treatment secretary also contributes to the development of the institution's procedures in accordance with the agency's guidelines regarding treatment and investigation. An important shared responsibility for all staff is to help create a safe environment and ensure that security at the institution is maintained according to current procedures. Working hours are during daytime. At SiS, we value good teamwork. This means that as an employee, you take responsibility for your work, contribute to development, and participate in good cooperation.
