You also need experience working as a counselor in the field of violence in close relationships, with both victims and perpetrators. Further training in ATV, functional analysis, MI, or other methods used in the field is considered a merit. It is also advantageous if you have experience with treatment work with children and young people who have experienced violence, for example through Trappan or other relevant treatment methods. You also need strong communication skills, both verbal and written, and experience documenting in management systems used for official functions. The nature of the work means we place great emphasis on personal suitability in general and on the ability to take independent responsibility and collaborate in particular. You need to be able to and enjoy informing about violence in close relationships and the center's work.
