Child and Youth Advisors for the Family Section

We believe that all children and young people should have a good life now and in the future.

Are you passionate about being part of a department that consists of professionally competent, engaged and dedicated social workers with good humor? Then we look forward to meeting you.

In the Family Section we are experiencing rapid and positive development ourselves. We focus on clear, accessible and approachable leadership as a prerequisite to ensure stability and high quality in the work with the families.

The Family Section is Holstebro Municipality's child and family affairs authority department and we are organized into four general district teams and a Family and Disability team.

We offer two permanent positions in the general and two permanent positions in the Family and Disability team. In addition, we have two maternity leave positions in the general. All positions are initially 37 hours per week.

District Teams

In the four district teams, casework for children and young people in vulnerable positions aged 0-18/23 years is handled. We focus on preventive social work, families' networks, pregnant women and the infant area. We believe that we are most successful when we have early intervention, collaborate with citizens and the families' networks – both private and professional.

We work together to ensure good well-being and a good collaborative culture - not only in the individual teams, but in the department as a whole - and we deliberately work to create an environment with high professionalism.

Family and Disability Team works with the specialized target group of children with physical and mental disabilities from age 0 to 18 and sibling cases up to 23. As a Child and Youth Adviser in the Family and Disability Team you handle all types of social cases including §§ 86 and 87 according to the Child's Act.

The Family and Disability Team has natural cross-sector collaboration with a range of stakeholders in both the children and youth area as well as in the adult sector, including the region, specialized institutions, the labor market and the rehabilitation sector, etc. We are focused on strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration about the citizens, and we work purposefully on smooth handovers.
