Do you want to reach out to young people who need help?

Genklang seeks an outreach youth worker who can create contact, build trust and help young people take the first step toward support.

Some young people live with one reality at home and show another on the outside. They look after their family, keep secrets and can have difficulty telling what they are dealing with.

Therefore we cannot wait for them to find the courage or the words to ask for help.

We must reach out. This will be your most important task.

Genklang is a free offering for young people aged 12 to 24 who grow up in families where alcohol or drugs dominate. The offering is funded by the Danish Agency for Social and Housing and is part of the Carelink Group.

You meet the young people where they are

On the high street, at schools and educational institutions and at events. You take the initiative to make contact and make Genklang known and accessible.

You are curious, listen and can tell concisely and engagingly about our offering. You can sense when there is room to ask more and when the young person needs time.

Among other things you should

• Make direct contact with young people and tell them about the possibilities for free help.
• Plan and carry out outreach activities together with the team.
• Do outreach work at schools, educational institutions and with professionals who meet young people.
• Help interested young people move on to counseling and programs with our professional staff.
• Work with clear goals and use experiences to improve recruitment.

You take initiative and follow up

Your educational background is not decisive, but you must have experience from outreach work, recruitment, sales or work with young people. We emphasize that you can create contact and convert that into more young people getting help.

We are looking for someone who

• Enjoys meeting new people and taking the first contact yourself.
• Can talk about a sensitive topic with respect and without pressuring.
• Works independently and in a structured way.
• Maintains energy, even when many say no to a conversation.
• Is open to feedback and keen to develop together with colleagues.
• Is motivated by seeing concrete results from your work.

You must be able to engage in the conversation without requiring the young person to tell their story. A good first contact can also be to make it safe to return later.

A meaningful and responsible job

At Genklang you will be part of a team that works to ensure that young people do not have to face what happens at home alone. You will receive coaching about the target group, our offers and outreach contact.

We have high ambitions for how many young people we should reach. Recruitment is therefore the central part of your work. We continuously follow up on which activities create contact and help young people on.

You should help open a door that may be hard to find on your own.
