You will collaborate closely with internal and external partners to create cohesive solutions around the individual. The role also includes outreach and preventive work as well as lectures and information about our activities. You will plan, analyze, and document your work in Combine and actively contribute to our methods and operational development. Working hours include daytime, evenings, and weekends based on operational needs. THIS ROLE REQUIRES THAT YOU: Have post-secondary education in substance abuse care, treatment, or another relevant field (for example, social worker, social pedagogue, treatment pedagogue, or alcohol and drug therapist). Have experience working with adults with at-risk use, harmful use, or addiction, and engaging with their family members. Have experience with motivational and support-focused work, both during active harmful use and during the recovery process. Have good knowledge of the 12-step program. Have good knowledge of society's support systems and how various societal actors collaborate around the individual. Have good computer skills and experience with documentation.

YOUR PERSONAL QUALITIES We believe you are a curious, positive, and engaged person with a genuine interest in people. You have a natural ability to make contact and build trusting relationships, while also being confident in setting clear and professional boundaries. In your approach, you are calm, respectful, and low-key, which creates a sense of security for the people you meet. You have good judgment, personal maturity, and the perseverance required in work with change processes. As a person, you are driven, communicative, and pedagogical.

Your work style is structured, planned, and organized, with your priorities grounded in a strong ethical approach.

The expanded collaboration resulting from the new Social Services Act and the co-morbidity reform will be an important part of the organization's continued development.
