Treatment Educator/Social Educator HVB

Do you want to make a difference? Do you have experience working with children and youth in vulnerable situations? Welcome to apply for part-time work with us as a temporary substitute with the possibility of permanent employment.

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 see how an increasing number of young people go astray. Every young person we can help to 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 reach all the way. The youth, we, and society are big winners when we succeed.

We are a small treatment home with a total of six places in Björklinge north of Uppsala. We cater to young people aged 15-20 whose lifestyles are marked by exclusion. We work in a structured manner based on CBT and MI and have a low-arousal approach. We also see physical activity as an important part of our treatment philosophy.

We offer daily supervision by the manager/operations manager and external supervision. We are looking for you who want to contribute with your experience and competence to help develop our operations.

Job Description

We are looking for you who are a trained treatment educator/social educator with experience working with young people who have chosen a criminal lifestyle and possibly neuropsychiatric disabilities. It is advantageous if you also have training in, for example, low-arousal approach, MI, CBT, AP, crime as a lifestyle, and environmental therapy.

The tasks consist of supporting the young people in their individual development with their implementation plan as a basis. You are responsible for helping to structure the day for the young people, accompanying them to various activities and meetings, and promoting good cooperation with the actors in the young person's network. You are also responsible for ensuring that documentation is carried out according to current guidelines. You also need to be able to act as a safe adult role model for our placed young people and have the necessary knowledge required in an ordinary household such as cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc.

Qualifications

You can easily express yourself verbally and in writing and master the basics of record-keeping and documentation. It requires that you have great patience, knowledge of and ability to work with a low-arousal approach, and can stand firm even when our young people test boundaries. You work in a structured manner and have a professional, solution-focused approach.

For the position, a Class B driver's license and an extract from the Police's suspicion and criminal records register are required.

We look forward to your application!
