Social Pedagogue for KABiT Training Housing

Do you want to work closely with young people and be part of creating sustainable change in everyday life?

At KABiT, we work with children and young people who need support, structure, and safe adults around them. Our work is based on each individual's needs and circumstances and is built on close relationships, clarity, and a professional approach.

With us, you work in a team where several competencies and experiences meet. We place great emphasis on collaboration and on staff helping each other to understand situations, find solutions, and develop working methods.

Quality in treatment work is created by dedicated and competent staff who are given the opportunity to be present in the young people's everyday lives. Therefore, high staff density and close collaboration are important parts of our operations.

We are now looking for someone who wants to become part of our team and contribute to a safe, stable, and developing everyday life for the young people who live with us.

About the job

We are now looking for a colleague for the Training Housing, which is our supported housing. The target group of the operation is girls and boys aged 16-20 (12 places). The training apartments are gathered in central Hörby in direct connection to the base apartment from which staff operate.

As a social pedagogue at KABiT, you work closely with the young people in their everyday lives. This means that you are involved/supportive in everything from structured work to daily routines and activities.

The workdays can look very different. For example, you might support a young person before school, accompany them to a meeting, cook together, plan an activity, or help to sort out a situation that has become difficult.

An important part of the assignment is to create predictability and security. For many of our young people, functioning relationships with adults are an important part of their development. Therefore, you need to be able to be present and engaged, while also being able to set clear boundaries.

The work requires both patience and flexibility. A solution that works for one young person may not work for another. We therefore work in an individually adapted way and try to understand what lies behind a behavior rather than only reacting to what is visible in the moment.

What you get at KABiT:

· At the beginning of your employment, you attend an introduction day where our unit managers present the operations, routines, and expectations.

· We offer both company-wide and individual development opportunities.

· We work with a unit manager on site at all units, which means short decision-making paths and operational support in your work, every day.

· External supervision.

· Wellness allowance of SEK 2,500/year.

Requirements:

• Relevant post-secondary education, for example as a social pedagogue, social worker, or other education that the employer deems equivalent.
• Experience working with young people, preferably in supported housing or similar operations.
• Very good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both spoken and written.
• Driving license (B) as the work includes driving.

Desirable:

• Experience working with young people with NPF (neurodevelopmental disorders), self-harm behavior, OCD, eating disorders, or other challenging behaviors.
• Knowledge of low-arousal approach and experience in handling threatening or challenging situations.
• Basic knowledge in BBIC, TMO, or CBT
• Experience of documentation in record systems.

What are we looking for in you?

In addition to education and experience, your personal qualities are important. You need to be able to meet young people calmly and respectfully in all situations. You can be clear without becoming confrontational, and you understand the value of building relationships. You also need to be able to accept that development takes time; sometimes you have to try several different paths before finding the one that works.

You are stable and remain calm when much is happening around you, you can combine warmth with clear boundaries, and you take responsibility and work independently.
