About Garvergården Crisis Center

Garvergården Crisis Center is a crisis center for singles and families in crisis, in accordance with the Social Service Act §§ 109 and 110. The target group includes both men and women and their accompanying children.

For both target groups, the issues are characterized by often being in a complicated, stuck situation where they cannot immediately solve their situation on their own, but can make their daily lives function with self-help or with light to moderate support.

Garvergården Crisis Center provides, in collaboration with the Social Administration and other relevant partners, a specialized, targeted and forward-looking social-work intervention aimed at establishing housing of one’s own.

The residents at Garvergården meet with relevant professional expertise, professional care, respect and curiosity. The social-work intervention is based on the resident’s needs and wishes and is documented through the development of an action plan.

The intervention creates safety, stability and trust and focuses on mastering everyday life. Furthermore, the goal is for the resident to actively participate in a change process and to gain confidence in their own capabilities and resources.

We are looking for you who

• are socially educated, e.g., pedagogue, social worker, social facilitator

• have a flexible, curious approach to new tasks and are willing to engage in practical and pedagogical work in the house
• bring good humor to the workplace and contribute to the positive atmosphere in the house

In return we offer

• an exciting and challenging job in a dynamic and committed organization
