We work with Motivational Interviewing (MI) and use the MIX model for investigations.

The work is varied as we encounter different forms of social issues, and it is also developmental as you support individuals in vulnerable situations. In our work towards the goal of individual self-sufficiency, we start from each individual's prerequisites. Together with the client, we strive to create processes through dialogue where the person gains insight into their resources and conditions. We work with continuous improvement to become an organization that adapts to the needs of our clients. This includes developing and changing our working methods to free up time for active client work.

You are able and willing to adapt to new working methods. Collaborating with others adds value to you, as collaboration implies good communication, security, and a shared goal.
