Job Description
Do you want to be part of creating vital change for vulnerable people? Then the Treatment Secretary position at SiS is the meaningful work you're looking for. The foundation of our treatment work is to motivate people toward new and less destructive ways of living. You work in a team of committed colleagues, and with your collective expertise, you have the opportunity to achieve good results.
As a Treatment Secretary, you coordinate and oversee client treatment at the institution, develop treatment plans, manage contacts with authorities, and are responsible for documenting implemented treatment interventions, as well as supporting treatment staff in daily work. The Treatment Secretary fills an important role in ensuring that clients receive quality, individually tailored services based on their circumstances and needs, and works closely with other professionals at the institution, such as treatment assistants/educators, treatment coordinators, nurses, physicians, and psychologists.
The Treatment Secretary contributes to developing the institution's routines according to the authority's guidelines regarding treatment and investigation. The work is varied, which requires flexibility and accountability. To a significant extent, it means you are a structural anchor—thorough and organized. You understand the value and context of collaboration; it's natural for you to guide and support your colleagues. You are the initiator who anchors and implements after decisions are made.
Our vision is to be a place for change, and this permeates our approach, our commitment, and our attitude.
You will work closely with unit managers and treatment coordinators in our various departments. You will also have opportunities to contribute to collegial learning at the institution through various training forums. If you're also passionate about your own development, there are many opportunities within SiS.
Qualifications
Your personal suitability is the key to vital change. Therefore, you need a strong ability to create engagement and participation.

You also need to have:
A university degree of at least 210 credits in social/behavioral sciences (e.g., social work degree), or a university degree of 180 credits in behavioral sciences, or other higher education assessed as meeting SiS guidelines for competency requirements for coordinating/planning treatment work.
