Erityisohjaaja - Valtion koulukodit - Jakobstad, Finland

Are you looking for new challenges? Are you comfortable with strong emotions? In the state boarding school, you are a companion to a child who has not been treated well by life. In our special work, no one is left alone. The starting point is that the child, together with their family, is actively and equally involved in planning their own life. There are reasons behind the behavior of children with serious symptoms, which are taken into account in their care and education. We work closely with other authorities and various actors, and participate in societal influence. The work is demanding, but difficult situations are overcome together. The State Boarding Schools are the national service provider for demanding foster care and basic education with special support. The activities of the state boarding schools are regulated by law under the Health and Welfare Institute’s child protection units (1379/2010). THL and the Ministry of Education are responsible for the result management of the boarding school activities and education organized in the boarding schools. We are now looking for a suitable higher education degree holder to join our team as a special supervisor. Suitable degrees include, for example, Bachelor of Social Services (AMK), Registered Nurse, or Community Pedagogue. The special supervisor cares for, educates, and guides children placed in their unit in collaboration with a multidisciplinary staff. They are responsible for ensuring that care and upbringing are in accordance with individual goals and the care models of the State Boarding Schools. The special supervisor ensures the smooth daily operation by guiding children considering their individual abilities. They document in the customer information system and prepare necessary documents in the unit as agreed. The special supervisor is responsible for the safety of children and the community by creating a stabilizing atmosphere and acting according to agreed rules to prevent violence, bullying, and harassment. They handle critical situations as needed and carry out restrictions in accordance with child protection law. The work includes household tasks.
