What we do and want

The goals of the administration are primarily to increase children's participation, development, and continuing education in the area of violence victimization, as well as to implement the approach of Signs of Safety for increased transparency and collaboration across units.

Within our administration, everyone helps each other, and there is a genuine willingness to collaborate across unit boundaries. We who work here always have the individual in focus and collaborate to achieve the best results.

About the position

We are project hiring two youth counselors to work therapeutically with youth aged 10-20, their families, and relatives. The project spans one year and focuses on youth with criminal and/or norm-breaking behavior, aiming to contribute to lifestyle and behavioral changes, but the form of the intervention will be flexible to best meet the youth's needs. The intervention can be provided as a voluntary outpatient service or following a court order. This means that the youth counselors need to work on alliance-building while also maintaining clear professionalism and structure.

The youth counselors need to be active and creative to best adapt the support to the youth and their relatives. Since part of the assignment needs to take place in the youth's environments, some working hours may be scheduled for evenings and weekends.

The intervention is provided following a governmental decision and is carried out in close collaboration with other functions such as SSPF, SIG, MiniMaria.

Who are you?

We are looking for someone who is genuinely interested in working with youth and their families. You are a qualified social worker, social educator, or equivalent.

We see that you have experience in social work with youth. You have several years of experience working with people.

You can express yourself clearly in both writing and speech. You have good knowledge of social services, relevant legislation, and society in general. You have good knowledge of the target group and familiarity with relevant methods and support interventions.

We are looking for someone who easily takes initiative and builds relationships. It is important to us that you have good judgment and can make your own assessments. You are, of course, creative and find flexible solutions in difficult and complex situations.
