The work involves:
- being present in environments where young people spend time, during daytime, evenings, and weekends
- establishing and maintaining relationships with young people over time
- identifying risk and protective factors and acting based on these
- motivating young people toward change, activities, and positive contexts
- collaborating with schools, social services, police, civil society, and other actors
- documenting and following up on work

- experience working with young people at risk
- further education in, for example, youth work, social work, or behavioral science
- language skills beyond Swedish

Who Are You?
To succeed in this role, you need to be secure in yourself and your professional role. You have the ability to make contact with young people in different life situations and build relationships over time – even when it is challenging.
We are looking for someone who:
- can stay present in difficult conversations and situations without backing away
- has the ability to set boundaries while maintaining the relationship
- works independently and takes responsibility in situations where you need to make your own decisions
- is flexible and can adapt your work style based on situation and individual
- has good collaboration skills and can navigate cooperation with multiple actors
