JOB DESCRIPTION

The position involves offering advice, support, and treatment for children and adolescents and their parents or other important relationships. We work with the new social services act in focus, where we invest even more in interventions without needs assessment. As a therapist, we also offer service conversations to residents.

As a family therapist, you will tailor the intervention based on the needs identified in the assessment of children and youth, as well as the changes the family wishes to make in their lives. We meet families in our premises, in their home environment, and in other locations. We primarily work during office hours, with some late afternoons and early evenings.

The intervention is always based on the needs of children and youth. Examples of some assignments may include improving communication and relationships among family members, strengthening parenting skills, and finding better routines at home.

In this role, you will receive methodological support and process guidance.
