Job Description
Do you want to be part of creating vital change for vulnerable people? Then working as a treatment educator at SiS is a meaningful challenge. As a treatment educator, you work in a team with treatment assistants and treatment coordinators, and together you are responsible for ensuring that our clients receive the safety, care, and treatment they need. We often meet people in crisis, which means you work with qualified care and motivation work and provide support in daily life. With your knowledge in care and treatment work, you actively contribute to ensuring that treatment plans are carried out. Documentation is an important part of your work and contributes to legal certainty, planning, and monitoring of our operations. You help maintain security according to our procedures and contribute to daily activities running smoothly, including schooling, cleaning, meal preparation, and more. Mentorship is also one of your responsibilities. The work may also include supervising new employees and interns. This is a job for you if you see a positive challenge in working with vulnerable people in difficult life situations. The work is often demanding but also stimulating, rewarding, and varied.
Our vision is to be a place for change, which permeates our approach, our commitment, and our mindset.
Work hours follow a schedule including days, evenings, and weekends.
As a new employee, you will complete a 10-week SiS basic training course. The training alternates between theory and guided introduction, preparing you for the treatment role in SiS operations.
