About the Workplace
Our facility is beautifully situated in northwest Scania. We welcome girls aged 15-21 years who are placed under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act with Special Provisions on Care of Young People (LVU). At Åsbo, we offer individual care (one-on-one) for girls who need a smaller setting and more comprehensive support. In collaboration with social services, we can customize the approach around the specific young person. Our treatment work is based on evidence-based methods where Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are central components.
Your Role
As a treatment educator, you will work individually with young people to provide support and care in daily life. The goal is to establish a trusting relationship where the young person wants and dares to receive the support offered. You will be part of a team that works together around the young person, and our vision is that despite solo work, you won't feel alone.
Work tasks include practical duties such as support with activities of daily living (ADL), cooking, cleaning, medication management, community contacts, and transportation. An important aspect is to motivate young people to develop their unique strengths/qualities and build competence. You also play a role in promoting an active and meaningful leisure time, which requires energy and the ability to inspire. The work includes documentation.
Qualifications
To be qualified for the position with us, you must have:
At least two years of post-secondary education in areas such as social work, social pedagogy, or behavioral science.
Based on the target group and its needs, we welcome only female applicants for the position.
Experience with the target group is meritorious, as is knowledge of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and knowledge of Neuropsychiatric Conditions (NPF).
We expect you to be warm and empathetic, a team player with a positive view of people's capacity for change. Furthermore, you should be patient, confident in yourself, and have the ability to handle conflicts constructively and remain calm in stressful situations.
Computer skills and experience with documentation are important, which means you should have strong communication abilities both verbally and in writing.
