About the position

We are seeking a youth coordinator for the Team Social, Education and Employment, which consists of 15 dedicated employees.

As a youth coordinator, your main task will be to create an overview, coordinate the effort and ensure coherence in the individual youth's progression. This in close collaboration with the youth, the family, educational offerings, residential services, health sector, employment sector and other partners.

We work with youths aged 16-30, and the target group is broad. Some youths need support in the transition to adult life, education or employment, while others require interventions under the Child Act, Social Services Act, the Act on Active Employment, or other relevant legislation including STU.

You are able to build trusting relationships and collaborate naturally and constructively with citizens, relatives, support persons and residential services. You are strong at coordinating and collaborating across disciplines, administrations, sectors and external partners. At the same time you have a view of the whole, can drive forward in complex processes and thrive on taking responsibility to set direction and ensure results.

With a holistic approach you work so that citizens with complex social challenges experience a coherent and coordinated effort. You ensure that action plans are developed and followed up in close dialogue with the citizen and relevant partners, so the effort best supports the citizen's goals and development.
