Workplace Description
Retro HVB has been operating treatment services since 1996. We have always had a deep commitment to young people who have fallen outside society, those who lack faith that there is a place and meaning for them and who see gangs, crime, and drugs as the only path offered to them.
We have seen and continue to see how an increasing number of young people are going down the wrong path. Every young person we can help regain faith in the future, to dare to trust society, gives meaning to our work. Sometimes we may only be able to help part of the way, sometimes we go all the way. The young person, we, and society are all big winners when we succeed.
We are a small treatment home with a total of six places in Björklinge north of Uppsala. We work with young people aged 15-20 whose lifestyle is characterized by exclusion. We work in a structured manner based on CBT and MI and maintain a low-affect approach. We also see physical activity as an important part of our treatment philosophy.
We offer daily work supervision by the manager/operations manager as well as external supervision. We are looking for you to contribute your experience and expertise to help develop our operations.
Job Description
We are looking for you who are trained as a treatment pedagogue/social pedagogue with experience working with young people who have chosen a criminal lifestyle and possibly have neuropsychiatric disabilities. It is an advantage if you also have training in, for example, low-affect approach, MI, CBT, ÅP, criminality as a lifestyle, and environmental therapy.
Your responsibilities will include supporting young people in their individual development based on their implementation plan. You are responsible for helping to structure the day for the young people, accompanying them on various activities and meetings, and promoting good cooperation with the actors in the young person's network. You are also responsible for ensuring documentation is completed according to current guidelines. You also need to be able to act as a reliable adult role model for our placed young people and have the necessary knowledge required in a regular household such as cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc.
Qualifications
You communicate easily in speech and writing and have a basic understanding of record-keeping and documentation. The position requires great patience, knowledge of and ability to work with a low-affect approach, and the ability to stand firm even when our young people test boundaries. You work in a structured manner and have a professional, solution-focused approach.
The position requires a category B driver's license and a certificate from the Police's suspicion and criminal record register.
We look forward to your application!
