Short-term supervision is a service provided under the LSS for young people over the age of 12 who are no longer eligible for after-school care but who need supervision while their guardians are working or studying. The service can be provided before or after the school day, as well as on school holidays. Through individually tailored support, we work together to create a safe environment and meaningful leisure activities. We are now looking for more staff members for our short-term supervision programs!

Carlslund Short-Term Supervision is located within Carlslund School in the Carlslund area, near Tomtebo and Carlshöjd. We are a large program withthree departments for ages 13–16.

Your Responsibilities

As a staff member in the short-term supervision program, you’ll work to support and assist young people based on their individual needs. Your duties will vary and may include both social and physical support, depending on each young person’s situation. You will prepare for the young people’s arrival, plan and carry out meaningful activities, and help create a safe and stimulating environment.

The role also includes daily administrative tasks. The work is physically demanding because you are constantly on the move; some moving and lifting may be required, although heavy lifting is not a central part of the job. You must also be prepared to handle disruptive behavior and situations where threats or violence may occur.

Joint planning takes place between short-term supervision programs and other programs within Support and Care. 

About You

We are looking for someone who is calm, confident, and committed, with a professional demeanor and strong collaboration skills. You are attentive and meet young people based on their individual needs, while contributing to a safe and respectful environment.

You are resilient under stress and handle challenging situations calmly, even when faced with disruptive behavior. Furthermore, you are flexible and solution-oriented, with the ability to adapt and create a meaningful daily life for the young people. Great importance is placed on personal suitability.

Requirements:

• Experience working with children/young adults with disabilities within the LSS system, special education, or regular schools
• Fluency in spoken and written Swedish, as well as good knowledge of English
• Valid criminal background check, in accordance with the Act on Suitability Checks
