The Swedish Prison and Probation Service, SiS, is a government agency responsible for individually tailored compulsory care for youth with complex psychosocial issues and adults with substance abuse disorders. Regardless of where you work in our organization or what position you hold, you help create vital change.
SiS Youth Home Hässleholm is a secure institution with four treatment units, two intake and needs assessment (MBB) units, and one open TFCO unit. At Karlsvik in Höör, we have an open discharge preparation unit. This unit is part of our operations where treatment activities consist primarily of skills training aimed at preparing youth for a functioning life after their time at SiS, both practically and socially.
We primarily receive school-age boys but also girls with ongoing criminal involvement and in some cases substance abuse issues.
Job Description
Do you want to make that vital difference for vulnerable people? Then working as a treatment pedagogue at SiS is a meaningful challenge.
SiS Youth Home Hässleholm is now seeking additional hourly substitutes to support our operations during vacancies.
Our youth home has 43 places for security-classified boys aged approximately 12-16 distributed across 6 units.
The youth at SiS have backgrounds marked by unpredictability and stress in various forms, which means your focus is on professionally conducting treatment work, care and motivation work, and providing daily support. You become part of the youth's schooling, cooking and cleaning routines, evening activities and more, as they live here around the clock. All activities are carried out safely and carefully risk-assessed before implementation, which you are responsible for helping ensure. The goal of your assignment is to motivate our youth/clients toward new and less risky ways of living.
As a treatment pedagogue, you work in a team with treatment pedagogues/treatment assistants and treatment coordinators, and together you are responsible for ensuring that the youth living with us receive the security, care and treatment they need. Documentation is an important part of your work and contributes to legal certainty, planning and monitoring of our operations. You contribute to maintaining safety according to our procedures and you help work toward a continuously improving SiS.
This is work for someone who sees a positive challenge in working with vulnerable boys in a difficult life situation. The job is often demanding but also stimulating, joyful and varied! At SiS, you truly have the chance to make a difference for someone and change lives. Our vision is to be a place for change and this permeates our approach, our commitment and our mindset.
Working hours follow a day, evening and weekend schedule.
As a new employee, you participate in a mandatory introduction week before starting work on the unit. The training combines theory with guided introduction that equips you for the treatment role in SiS operations.
