Field Assistants for Bromma District Administration

Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone living here today and in the future. We are now looking for you who want to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Bromma District Administration offers you a workplace where your efforts can truly make a difference and contribute to the community benefit in a growing district. Here, active employee participation and clear leadership are the foundation for a developing operation.

Welcome to us

We are expanding our safety work and are therefore looking for three committed and experienced field assistants who want to make Bromma safer together with us! If you thrive in a dynamic and varied environment and have experience working with youth, this could be an exciting assignment for you.

The field operations are part of the unit for promotional and preventive efforts under the Department of Social Services and Leisure. The unit is led by a unit manager and two group leaders with a total of 23 employees within the operations; Leisure Activities/Youth House, Field Operations, School Social Teams, citizen offices with community guidance, and contracted Youth Clinics.

We are located in pleasant premises in Bromma Blocks, in the Youth House at Islandstorget, and in Blackeberg with proximity to public transport. Within the unit, we work intensively with development and innovation and have a strong citizen focus. Collaboration is a key principle within the unit. During the summer, part of the operation will move into new premises in Mariehäll where we will start a new leisure activity and a new citizen office.

We offer

• A cohesive unit with a clear mission and participation.
• A meaningful assignment where you contribute to strengthening field work.
• Engaged and knowledgeable colleagues who are driven and focused on the mission of the operation.
• Subsidized wellness benefits.

Your role

As a field assistant, you work together with your colleagues preventively, outreach, and relationship-building with youth in their own arenas and in other public environments. We work with the foundations of prevention science and risk and protective factors. We create relationships with youth based on voluntariness, trust, and respect and work to help youth towards a stable future. As a field assistant, you also work on creating safety that contributes to Bromma's and the city's overall situation. Your work is important in collaboration with other actors to create a safe Bromma. You collaborate closely with the administration's safety coordinators, youth centers, social services, schools, police, and other authorities, guardians, and others working with youth. The work is based on a systemic approach, where network thinking and networking are of central importance. Working hours are scheduled during both day, evening, and weekend and are largely located in schools and where youth choose to spend their leisure time.

In schools, we work preventively with the school programs we offer. We also work in the evenings with structured programs such as ABC-teen and Komet-teen. Our work is flexible and follows the changes that occur in youth's lives. It is therefore important to have an interest in monitoring the environment and to enjoy dynamic work. The work is carried out in line with the City of Stockholm's standards for social field work.
