JOB DESCRIPTION

As a family therapist with us, you will be part of a team consisting of 8 dedicated family therapists and a team leader. Here we work with change processes in families, primarily based on approved interventions from the social services but also with time-limited advice and support interventions. Our treatment interventions consist of change work that follows the National Board of Health and Welfare's recommendations, and we place great emphasis on working knowledge-based with evidence-based methods. We also offer group activities and preventive measures in various forms.

In the psychosocial change work, you will meet children, youth, adults, and their relatives. You work in a structured manner by setting goals together with the individual, following up, and working based on the implementation plan and the goals of the assignment. The work is carried out through conversations at the family center, at the family's home, or another location, practical change work in the home environment, and in collaboration with other actors such as schools, preschools, and health care.

Documentation takes place in Lifecare and is an important part of the work.

As an employee with us, you will be offered wellness benefits, flexible working hours, close and accessible management, and friendly colleagues.

Desired qualifications/competencies include KiBB, FFT, KOMET, Trappan, domestic violence, and systems theory. You should also be able to work in an environment where animals are present. Some evening and weekend work may occur.

We are looking for someone who has:

You are humble in the face of families' varying life circumstances. You also contribute to our climate, which is based on a positive, unpretentious, and development-oriented culture.
