About the Workplace Our facility is located in a beautiful natural setting in northwestern Scania. We welcome girls aged 15-21 years who are placed under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act on Special Provisions Concerning Care of Young People (LVU). At Åsbo, we offer individual care (one-to-one) for girls who need a smaller setting and more comprehensive support. In collaboration with social services, we have the ability to customize the arrangement 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 care educator, you will work individually with the young person to provide support and care in daily life. The goal is to establish a secure relationship where the young person is willing and able to receive the support offered. You will be part of a team that works together on plans for the young person, and our vision is that despite working alone, you will not feel isolated. Job duties include practical tasks such as support with activities of daily living (ADL), cooking, cleaning, medication management, community contacts, and transportation. An important aspect is to motivate the young person to develop their unique strengths 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 their needs, we welcome only female applicants for this position. Experience with the target group is advantageous, 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 in a constructive manner and remain calm in stressful situations. Computer skills and experience with documentation are important, which means you should have strong abilities to communicate both verbally and in writing. Other Information Start date by agreement. Irregular working hours in the form of 24-hour shifts distributed over both weekdays and weekends. We require a criminal record check before employment. A valid driver's license (Category B) is required. Interviews will be held on an ongoing basis, so do not delay in submitting your application materials.
