We use a combination of evidence-based methods and proven experience. The content of treatment work is individually tailored to the child's or adolescent's needs and is developed together with the children, adolescents, and their parents based on the assignment. The role also includes network work and collaboration with the family's private and professional network. Work is conducted both independently and together with other family treatment specialists and can, if necessary, be performed outside office hours. We offer a workplace with engaged and experienced colleagues where job satisfaction and collaboration are a natural part of everyday life. With us, you will have the opportunity to use your expertise, be creative, and develop in your professional role.

It is advantageous if you have: - Experience with similar work in open care where you have worked systemically - Experience working with children/youth and their parents with mental health issues, norm-breaking behavior, school problems, and neuropsychiatric functional impairments - Education and practical experience with evidence-/knowledge-based methods in the field of treatment for children and families, such as Step 1 Family Therapy or CBT - Experience with documentation and self-assessments in Journal Digital - Language skills in one of Malmö's major languages The work is characterized by close collaboration, which means we value good teamwork and a willingness to contribute to a positive work environment. We believe you thrive with taking responsibility, are flexible and independent, and have a solution-oriented approach. In the role, you will sometimes encounter challenging and complex situations. Therefore, we see that you are resilient, confident, and have the ability to handle changes and setbacks constructively. You work in a structured manner, plan and organize your work well, and drive your tasks forward with a focus on quality and development. We build our daily work on stability, trust, and confidence in each other. We value a development-oriented approach where quality is central and where we always focus on creating the best possible results for those we serve. At the same time, we think it is important to have fun together and contribute to a workplace where both we and the operations have the opportunity to develop.
