Committed youth counselor for UU Sorø

Do you want to make a difference for young people – and develop the future youth efforts with us?

We are looking for an engaged youth counselor for UU Sorø, who would like to make a difference for young people and actively contribute to the development of our municipal youth initiatives.

You will become part of the Ungeteam Sorø, where UU counselors, employment officers, IPS consultants and SSP consultants work closely together to create good and coherent pathways for young people.

UU Sorø handles education- and career guidance for children and young people in Sorø Municipality and is organizationally anchored in JobSorø. At the same time, UU is part of the Municipal Youth Initiative (KUI), where we collaborate across disciplines and organizations to ensure that young people receive the right support to move on in education and work.

Your tasks

You will be based in Ungeteam Sorø, where you become part of a professionally engaged team focusing on collaboration, development and shared responsibility for the young people.

Your main tasks will be to

• Provide education- and career guidance for young people between 15 and 24 years old.
• Advise and support young people who are in programs at FGU (Preparatory Adult Education), focusing on their opportunities and the next step toward education or work.
• Work purposefully with young people who have special guidance needs and who may benefit from a more hands-on and holistic approach.
• Collaborate closely with colleagues in Ungeteam Sorø as well as schools, educational institutions, FGU, businesses and other relevant actors.
• Contribute to developing new methods and workflows that strengthen cooperation and create coherence in the young people's paths.
• Take co-responsibility for the development of the municipal youth initiative and for us to jointly find good solutions for the young people we work with.

Who are we?

We are a team of eight employees in UU Sorø, which is part of Ungeteam Sorø. We have different professional backgrounds, but a common ambition to create the best possible opportunities for the young in Sorø Municipality.

We believe that the best solutions arise when we bring our professions into play and take joint responsibility for the task. Therefore we prioritise cross-disciplinary collaboration and continuously work on developing our methods and strengthening cooperation with both internal and external partners.

We have a strong focus on young people with special guidance needs and are committed to creating coherence between education, employment and the other initiatives around the young person.

With us you get a workplace with engaged colleagues, good humor and an informal tone. We emphasize well-being, professional development and a good balance between work and leisure.

Who are you?

We are looking for you who are passionate about helping young people move forward in life, and who can both work independently with the guidance task and actively participate in a committed team collaboration.

We imagine that you

• Have experience with education- and career guidance, preferably with young people between 15 and 24 years old.
• Have broad knowledge of the education sector and the young people's opportunities for education and work.
• Have a diploma education in education-, career- and guidance or are starting the education.
• Are engaged, relationship-building and motivated to help young people find their path.
• Can work holistically and see the value in collaborating with other professional groups on common solutions.
• Are willing to actively contribute to the development of Ungeteam Sorø and the municipal youth initiative.
• Can keep an overview, prioritize tasks and navigate a daily life with different needs and collaboration interfaces.
• Can familiarize yourself with relevant legislation and translate it into practice in the guidance work.
• Have good IT skills and preferably experience with the guidance system UNO Ung.
• Are prepared to use your own car in connection with guidance tasks after valid driving license.

It is important to us that you want to be part of a community where we take responsibility for our own tasks and for the overall effort around the young people.

What can you expect from us?

You will get an exciting position where you can apply your guidance professional skills and at the same time help shape the development of our shared youth initiative.

You will become part of an interdisciplinary environment with short paths to sparring, good opportunities for collaboration and room to try out new solutions. We are focused on developing our practice and finding ways that make a real difference for young people – also when their path to education or work is not straightforward.

We expect you to contribute with your professionalism, your perspectives and your desire to develop the task with us.
