WORK TASKS As a family counselor, you have a varied assignment, but the emphasis is on family treatment in the form of conversations with young people and their families. The work involves strengthening families so that they can manage on their own, but if young people need to be placed, our goal is for them to be able to return home as soon as possible. Our work is always based on the best interests of the child and young person. Our basic view is that the family is a system where everyone affects each other. This is why our treatment work often involves the whole family and other people close to the young person. Participation and cooperation provide the conditions for lasting change to take place. We work from a systems-theoretical and cognitive approach. As an employee, you are given supervision and skills development. Your daily work mainly takes place in our premises, which are located in central Skellefteå, but home visits also occur if deemed more appropriate. Our efforts are documented and followed up continuously. Collaboration with schools, the police, leisure and the Region takes place in many of our cases. QUALIFICATIONS We are looking for you who have a degree in social work or other relevant higher education that is suitable for the business.
