JOB DESCRIPTION

Welcome to the Education Administration and youth center activities. The youth center activities are divided into nine units and are open and safe meeting places for all young people aged 12-16 years. The focus of the youth center activities is our drop-in service, various group activities, events, and much more! We always strive for initiatives to come from the young people themselves. We are now looking for two youth leaders for parts of the summer of 2026.

As a youth leader, you are part of a team where we together create meaningful, activity-based, and developmental leisure for our youth during the summer of 2026. The youth center activities aim to provide exciting and vibrant meeting places where we, together with young people, create meaningful leisure. During the summer, the work is based at the youth center as a meeting place, but you also work outreach and with excursions. The position includes being involved in both planning and implementing various activities.

An important part of the work is motivation and safety-creating efforts. We place great value on working with young people's own participation in both the activities and their planning. As a youth leader over the summer, the work is mainly scheduled for the evenings. The primary target group is young people aged 12-16 years, but in some cases, you may also work with both younger and older youth.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with experience working with youth and would prefer if you have youth leader training or other education that we consider equivalent. You are passionate about working with young people.

As a person, you are positive and proactive. You enjoy collaborating, stepping forward, and easily building and maintaining new relationships, and you are a good role model. We are looking for someone who is flexible and can adapt to rapid changes. You are independent in your work style with good organizational and planning skills, and you are the one who gets things done. We strive for young people to receive a calm response and are looking for someone who has the courage to speak up when needed. You have the ability to separate issues from individuals and can feel secure even in uncertain situations.

We value diversity and inclusion, therefore experience working with integration, LGBTQIA+, accessibility, democracy, and public health is meritorious. A driver's license, swimming skills, and water safety are required.

Welcome with your application!
