The work also involves encounters with challenging or self-harming behaviors as well as substance abuse issues. Therefore, we actively work with low-arousal approaches to create calm and safety.

As an hourly substitute, you cover for the absence of regular staff in the services. You are offered flexible working hours scheduled during the day, evening, awake night, and sleeping on-call during weekdays and weekends. You can manage your working hours by entering your availability and receiving work requests accordingly.

As a summer substitute, you are offered a fixed schedule during the summer. There is an opportunity to work either day/evening, day/evening/sleeping on-call, or only awake night. Weekend work is included.
