Treatment Educator, 24-Hour Shift, Hourly Substitute

About the workplace

Our facility is located in scenic northwestern Skåne. We welcome girls aged 15-21 who are placed according to the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (LVU). At Åsbo, we offer individualized care for girls who need a smaller context and more extensive support. In collaboration with social services, we can tailor the approach for the specific youth. Our treatment work is based on evidence-based methods where Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) form a central part.

Your role

In the role of treatment assistant, you will work individually with the youth to provide support and care in daily life. The goal is to establish a safe relationship where the youth wants to and dares to accept the support offered. You will be part of a team that together plans the work around the youth, and our vision is that despite working independently, you should not feel alone.

The tasks include practical chores such as support with ADL, cooking, cleaning, medication management, community contacts, and transportation. An important aspect is to motivate the youth to develop their unique strengths/qualities 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, at least two years of post-secondary education in areas such as social work, social pedagogy, or behavioral science is required. Experience with the target group is meritorious, as is knowledge of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and neuropsychiatric disabilities.

We expect you to be warm and empathetic, a team player with a positive view of people's ability to change. Furthermore, you should be patient, confident in yourself, and able to handle conflicts constructively while remaining calm in stressful situations.

Computer literacy and experience with documentation are important, meaning you should have good verbal and written communication skills.
