Treatment Worker Tim Temporary Position
About Our DBT Homes
Our DBT homes serve girls aged 14 to 20 who are in at-risk environments, have experimented with drugs, or struggle with mental health issues that may lead to norm-breaking behavior, relationship difficulties, and self-harm. The girls live in a home-like environment that provides a strong foundation for the treatment services we offer. We are located in Höganäs municipality.
About the Position
As a treatment worker with us, you will work directly in treatment with our young people. You are required to approach DBT as your method in both your work approach and way of relating to clients. It is crucial that you can work in a structured manner while also making independent decisions. You are expected to contribute to a validating environment where your interactions are based on a dialectical communication style. Your work includes collaborating with families/networks, social workers, and other stakeholders. Your responsibilities will include administrative tasks, everyday household-related services, and guiding and coaching young people in their daily lives. It is essential that you have knowledge of documentation and the Social Services Act.
In your work, you need to be prepared to handle difficult situations, such as meeting our young people when they are depressed as well as upset. You need to be able to handle situations such as when a young person self-harms or acts agitated. You should be able to manage stressful situations and have the courage to set boundaries and be consistent in your work with our young people, even during difficult moments.
About You
We would prefer that you have relevant higher education (180 credits), ideally a degree as a social worker/behavioral scientist or a social pedagogue from vocational school. It is an advantage if you have training in our methods. It would be beneficial if you have worked in a similar role. Your personal suitability will play a major role in the recruitment process based on your ability to create safety and trust in your interaction with clients.
To work with us, you should have a genuine interest in working with our target group, you should find it easy to build trusting relationships while being able to set boundaries and be clear in your adult role. You collaborate well with colleagues and can also work independently. You have high integrity, are professional and respectful in your interactions. You enjoy your work, have a sense of perspective and humor, and appreciate varied work intensity where sometimes you have a quieter day alternating with high-paced periods focused on solutions. We see you as an important co-creator of a continued unpretentious and welcoming work environment.
We offer you great opportunities to develop within our treatment method and room to take significant responsibility on your own. At the same time, you will be part of a secure and competent team with close support from your manager, coordinator, and DBT therapist.
Warm welcome to submit your application
