SiS Youth Home Fagared is seeking a temporary study and career counselor

The Swedish National Board of Institutional Care, SiS, is an authority responsible for individually tailored compulsory care for youth and adults with substance abuse issues. We operate youth homes and facilities for adults with addiction across the country. At SiS, your work life will be an exciting challenge. Regardless of where you work in our organization or what position you hold, you contribute to creating life-changing transformations. SiS Youth Home Fagared accommodates non-compulsory school-age boys with psychosocial problems, criminal behavior, and substance abuse. We have departments in Lindome, Öxnevalla, and Gothenburg. **Job Description** We are seeking a temporary study and career counselor who wants to make a vital difference - are you the one we are looking for? For us, the role of study and career counselor is crucial given the students we work with, who need knowledge about future professions and career choices. A few have previously had contact with a study and career counselor and have limited knowledge of the opportunities available in the job market. Therefore, internships and practical learning experiences (APL) become especially important and are part of your mission. We want our youth to become aware of their own talents and strengths, and gain the skills and knowledge necessary to make well-informed choices regarding their further studies or employment. In your role, you will conduct motivational counseling sessions both individually and in groups, maintain external contacts within the labor market, and be part of the transition process. This means being involved in the process and creating opportunities for the youth to integrate into society with contacts that are beneficial for them and their future careers. You will work closely with our teachers and treatment staff, with a particular focus on motivation and guidance. As a study and career counselor at SiS Fagared Youth Home, you will also be part of the EHT team. In short, part of your mission is to be the spider in the web between school/treatment and the student's future goals. It is a challenge but an incredibly interesting job! Your personal suitability is key to life-changing transformation. To succeed in the role of study and career counselor with us, you need to be an open person who easily builds trusting relationships with others, instills security, and demonstrates humility in the role. Therefore, you should be a warm, empathetic individual driven by a strong inner passion and desire to achieve extraordinary results. You have an ability to see the big picture while also being able to interact between parts and details, ensuring a holistic view. You enjoy working systematically and with careful planning, but can be flexible when needed. Even though you collaborate in your role, you should also be comfortable working independently. Being a colleague who shares knowledge and contributes to a sense of community at SiS are other qualities that make you an interesting candidate. Equally important is that you have a solid positive view of people and the ability to handle conflicts constructively. **Qualifications** We are looking for someone who has a good view of students, where the equal value of all individuals is self-evident, and who possesses cultural awareness, global orientation, innovative thinking, and a clear student focus—key concepts you are expected to help realize in daily work. You also have pedagogical insight, with a good understanding of the school's goals and governing documents, as well as an empathetic ability. You are relationship-oriented and recognize that relationships are the foundation of student development, laying the groundwork for coaching the student. You have good collaboration skills while also being able to work independently, in a structured manner, and take initiative. As a person, you are persistent and do not give up easily; you believe in the youth and their ability to succeed in their learning and treatment, ensuring they will thrive in the future. **Requirements:** - A university degree as a study and career counselor - Personal maturity, integrity, and clarity - Driver's license B It is advantageous if you have previous experience working as a study and career counselor and experience in youth care. **Employment:** The position is a temporary contract for one year at up to 50%.
