The Role

As a Team Leader, you are responsible for leading, coordinating, and developing the field operations. You provide close, supportive leadership to the unit's six field workers and youth coach, working to create good conditions for professional, preventive, and outreach work.

In the role of Team Leader, you will among other things:

The work involves some evening duties, for example at school graduations, Midsummer celebrations, major youth events, or in connection with group activities.

To succeed in the role, you are a secure and clear leader who creates engagement, involvement, and good relationships. You have a structured way of working, good collaboration skills, and the ability to make decisions while being sensitive to both employees' and the operation's needs.
