Temporary Overnight Shift - Treatment Assistant

Description:

About the Organization SiS Youth Institution Gudhemsgården accommodates non-compulsory school-age boys with psychosocial challenges, criminal behavior, and substance abuse issues. SiS Youth Institution Gudhemsgården has recently undergone an organizational transition from LVM care to LVU care and is now in an exciting expansion phase. Currently, the institution consists of four units and will expand further over the coming year. We prioritize adequate staffing levels and are expanding our team, which is why we are now recruiting additional staff for our operations. SiS Youth Institution Gudhemsgården operates outside of Falköping. Job Description Would you like to be part of creating vital change for vulnerable people? Then working as a treatment assistant at SiS is a meaningful challenge. You work in a team with trained treatment pedagogues, operational leaders, and the night unit manager. Together, you are responsible for ensuring that the young people living with us receive the security, care, and treatment they need. Documentation is an important part of your work and contributes to legal security, planning, and monitoring of our operations. You help maintain safety according to our procedures and contribute to continuously improving SiS. We are now seeking new staff members for the night shift on a temporary contract of up to 6 months. Our operations run 24/7 (around the clock, all days of the week). As a night shift worker, you are responsible for the young people's well-being and safety, with a primary focus on promoting healthy sleep routines and being available for them as needed. The night is often the most challenging time of day, and sleep problems are very common among our young people, which makes a trusted adult who can offer support through conversation or other means a very important piece of the puzzle. The work can vary greatly in intensity, from very calm nights to nights that demand a lot from you as a treatment assistant. You will always work awake night shifts with us on shifts scheduled approximately between 21:00-08:45, varying slightly depending on weekdays or weekends. You will work according to a rotating schedule in a team with several other treatment assistants and pedagogues. This is work for someone who sees a positive challenge in working with vulnerable people in difficult life situations. The job is often demanding but also stimulating, fulfilling, and varied. The role may also include mentoring new staff members and serving as the night alarm coordinator. Qualifications Your personal suitability is key to vital change. Therefore, you need to have a good ability to create engagement and participation. Equally important is that you have a firmly grounded positive view of people, strong empathetic ability, and an ability to build good relationships, while being clear about maintaining rules. You have good communication skills and can remain calm even in pressured situations. You also have the ability to collaborate with others and enjoy sharing your knowledge with colleagues. You must also have: - At least 2 years of post-secondary education from a folk high school or vocational school (KY/YH) or equivalent education. The education must be focused on social work, social pedagogy, behavioral science, or another relevant field of study.* - Category B driver's license - Good Swedish, spoken and written At SiS, we value good collegial relationships. This means that as an employee, you take responsibility for your work, contribute to development, and participate in good collaboration.
