Administrative employee sought for maternity leave cover at Ungetilsyn Næstved

If you have an interest in administrative work and in the area of vulnerable children and young people, and you want to be part of a unit in the Danish Prisons Service that monitors that children and young people comply with the decision made by the Youth Criminality Board, then here is the chance for a temporary position of about 9 months.

About Ungetilsynet

The Youth Criminality Board makes decisions about improvement programs and immediate interventions for children and young people aged 10-17 who have committed serious personal offenses or other serious criminal acts.

Activities in the improvement program or immediate intervention that the board has decided upon must practically be provided and supported by the municipality of the child/young person, but to ensure that the board’s decisions are complied with by all parties, Ungetilsynet has been established.

In practice, when the Youth Criminality Board makes a decision, a supervising officer from Ungetilsynet is appointed to monitor compliance with the decision in two tracks:

• A person-focused supervision, where there is monitoring to ensure that the child/young person follows and completes their improvement program and any immediate intervention
• An organizational supervision, where there is monitoring to ensure that the municipality initiates the measures that the decision states should be included in the improvement program.

You will become part of Ungetilsynet’s unit in Næstved, where there are 8 employed supervising officers. The Næstved unit covers the geographical police districts of South Sealand (Sydsjælland) and Lolland-Falster as well as Central and Western Sealand (Midt- og Vestsjælland). There may be occasional work days in our Copenhagen department.
