WORK TASKS
The Field Team in Mölndal conducts socially preventative and outreach work among young people aged 10-18 at risk. We focus on creating relationships that motivate and guide young people to support services based on individual needs. Work as a field secretary involves mapping youth phenomena and their life situations at individual, group, and structural levels, with scheduled work hours during daytime and evenings (not weekends).
Beyond evening outreach work, we dedicate significant time to the city's schools through both school-based field work and classroom interventions. For many years we have worked with lesson materials in classrooms, both in secondary and now also in middle school. Since this represents a large part of the work, we are looking for someone who is comfortable delivering lesson materials and facilitating group discussions.
The Field Team works closely with schools, youth centers, SSPF, authorities, and other actors working with children and young people. As a field secretary, you become a resource and support for young people and have the opportunity to make a difference in their lives. We are looking for someone who is creative in reaching young people and their families to offer guidance and support early on.
It is important that you are skilled at building relationships with young people and feel comfortable meeting them on their own terms.
A large part of our work involves addressing important topics such as violence in young people's close relationships, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and internet safety, which we usually do through lectures directed at both children and young people, as well as important adults and professionals. It is therefore good if you are comfortable participating in such settings.

QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for you with a degree in social work or other academic education deemed equivalent. Further education in areas concerning children and young people, project management, and community work is meritorious, as is experience as a field secretary or similar role.

Since we work in teams, it is important that you have good collaboration skills and are flexible according to the team's needs. It is also necessary that you can work independently when the work requires it. Good collaboration skills are also important as the work involves many meetings and cooperation with other actors.
You are open-minded, receptive, and appreciate the value of personal interaction. You thrive in children and youth environments and feel secure in new situations. The ability to take initiative and adapt to different situations is central, as is translating theory into practice. The ability to handle conflicts and maintain a calm demeanor is an important requirement for this job.
Since contact with the target group is voluntary, we are looking for someone who can build relationships and motivate young people to engage. You are passionate about creating good conditions for children and young people. The work also requires that you express yourself well in Swedish, both verbally and in writing. Knowledge of other languages is meritorious, and a driver's license is required.
