Your new job

When a person leaves a violent relationship, there is much to be done. Perhaps social services are involved, but also the police, healthcare, the social insurance agency, and landlords. At the same time, a new life must be built, a new home must be furnished, and new opportunities to find oneself. A life without violence.

Are you the one who wants to practically support a person on the way to a life free from violence?

We are looking for someone who wants to work on behalf of social workers, providing practical support for victims of violence. The work will involve being a support in the new everyday life in various ways. The position is completely new, which provides room for further development along the way, but we expect the tasks to include the following:

• Accompanying various meetings with authorities.
• Supporting in various application processes or court processes
• Helping to structure everyday life
• Supporting independence and positive social contexts
• Work related to the municipality's emergency apartments
• Support in maintaining current safety plans

Your qualifications

We prefer that you have broad experience working with the target group, but some education in the field can also be offered.

Requirements

• Social educator or equivalent with a focus on social work
• Driver's license B

Meritorious

• Further education in violence in close relationships
• Good knowledge of risk factors or risk assessment instruments for the area

We are looking for you

You are an empathetic person with high drive, who sees what needs to be done. Building trust and good relationships is one of your strengths. Through your work, you contribute to calm. You have the ability to create balance in working with challenging issues while spreading joy and positivity in your interactions with both citizens and colleagues.
