Do you want to contribute to a safe future for children and youth?

We are looking for an engaged field secretary who wants to work proactively and preventively to provide children and young people with good opportunities in life. In this role, you will meet young people where they are – in schools, during leisure time, and in digital environments – and strengthen their own resources to create long-term and sustainable changes. The work is scheduled and includes both weekdays and weekend evenings.

Your mission

• Working with conflict management, mediation, and participating in risk zone discussions as needed
• Collaborating with schools, police, associations, and other stakeholders, as well as organizing group activities and parent meetings
• Contributing to the development of the organization through ideas, new initiatives, and monitoring of the preventive youth work field

We expect you to have:

• A degree in social work or another relevant higher education that the employer considers equivalent
• A valid driver's license for manual transmission, as travel is part of the job
• Experience from social services or similar activities is considered an advantage

Is this you?

You are a reliable, engaged, and attentive person with a genuine interest in the development of children and young people. You enjoy working both independently and in a team, and you approach challenges with a solution-focused mindset.
