Erityisohjaaja (Vuorelan koulukoti) - Valtion koulukodit - Vihti, Suomi

In our special work, no one is left alone. The premise is that the child, together with their family, is actively and equally involved in planning their own life. The behavioral issues of children with serious symptoms are addressed with considerations that are taken into account in their care and education. We work closely with other authorities and various stakeholders and participate in societal influence. The work is demanding, but difficult situations are managed together. The State School Homes are the national service provider for demanding foster care and basic education with special support. The operations of the State School Homes are regulated by law under the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) concerning child protection units (1379/2010). THL and the Ministry of Education are responsible for the outcome management of the school home activities and education provided in the school homes. We are now seeking a suitable higher education degree holder as a Special Education Supervisor. Suitable degrees include, for example, Bachelor of Social Services (AMK), Registered Nurse, or Community Pedagogue. The Special Education Supervisor cares for, educates, and guides children placed in their unit in collaboration with multidisciplinary staff. They are responsible for ensuring that care and upbringing are aligned with individual goals and the models used in the State School Homes. The supervisor ensures the smooth daily operation by guiding children according to their individual abilities. They document in the customer information system and prepare necessary documents in accordance with the unit's procedures. The Special Education Supervisor is responsible for the safety of children and the community by creating a stabilizing environment 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 laws. The work includes household tasks.
