We are looking for substitute youth counselors for Nytida Öppenvård in Örebro. Nytida’s Öppenvård in Örebro consists of four youth counselors. We are part of the same operation as Karlstad, where two employees work with whom we collaborate, have joint case discussions, workplace meetings, and supervision. Within the organization, there is also a unit manager and an operations manager. We offer structured outpatient care and qualified case management as well as housing support in our training apartments. Our target group includes children, adolescents, and young adults with psychosocial issues, neuropsychiatric diagnoses, substance abuse, criminal behavior, or other socially destructive behaviors, or for individuals with protection needs. We aim to create good solutions for individuals and clients with responsibility, competence, and participation. Our efforts and our organization should be characterized by care, commitment, and collaboration at all levels.
Your mission
As a youth counselor within Nytida’s Öppenvård, you will work closely with all stakeholders around the youth; social services, healthcare, guardians/relatives, school staff, and possibly other important individuals in the youth's life. Your tasks may vary but will be based on the needs of the client and the youth. The primary mission is to work closely with the youth to achieve the goals outlined in the implementation plan. All youths in our outpatient care live in supported housing, training apartments, or at home with their parents, which means that the work as a youth counselor is far from office or institutional work.
The outpatient care is responsible for our training apartments where the youths may be placed. This means that some tasks are related to housing and activities of daily living (ADL), with the goal of helping the youth become fully independent.
In the role of substitute youth counselor, you will be responsible for:
- Documenting according to applicable legislation.
- Collaborating and cooperating with the youth's network.
- Working with colleagues.
- Informing/feedback to your immediate manager.
- Working according to the company's goals and guidelines.
The position is a substitute role, with working hours scheduled on weekdays, during the day, and to some extent in the evenings based on the youths' needs.
Your qualifications
Your experience and knowledge
We are looking for someone who has experience with the target group and similar work; training in Motivational Interviewing (MI), relapse prevention, substance abuse, and low-arousal approaches is advantageous. An academic degree in a behavioral science field such as social work, behavioral science, or another equivalent academic qualification is also a merit, such as social pedagogy or treatment assistance. You see opportunities, have a positive outlook, and a strong commitment to people. The work requires you to be responsible, solution-oriented, and personally mature. You share your knowledge and experiences with your colleagues and see it as natural to contribute to a positive work environment. You appreciate varied tasks and working hours. Additionally, you have good computer skills and proficiency in the Swedish language, both spoken and written. A valid driver's license (Category B) is required, and you must have daily access to a car.
Upon employment, a background check will be required.
