Your new job

Our student health team works together, and we believe in teamwork where each person in the student health contributes with their profession - we are convinced that this is the best way to support the student.

If you also have experience working as a school counselor and/or within social services addressing adolescents' psychosocial needs and/or within disability care, that is highly meritorious. Furthermore, you need to have knowledge about adolescent development and familiarity with the Social Services Act.
