The Family Contact is seeking a family practitioner: We are looking for a family practitioner who wants to work in a dynamic family department and can see themselves aligned with the vision for children and youth in Roskilde Municipality where: all children and young people shall thrive and become whole people, and that all children and young people have abilities and competencies that they should have the opportunity to express and develop – both individually and in collaboration with others .

About Roskilde Family and Young People Center

Roskilde Family and Young People Center and the Wellbeing Contact are part of Children and Youth in Roskilde Municipality. The center consists of one integrated center leadership and three departments: Family Contact, Youth Contact and the Night Contact – Roskilde Youth Home. As a family practitioner with us, you will work daily in the Family Contact, which consists of 4 psychologists and 23 family practitioners. We are committed to strong interdisciplinary collaboration – both across the center and with authorities in Children and Youth.

Family Contact is housed at the Town Hall, seven minutes’ walk from Roskilde Station. We collaborate with families with children and young people aged 0-18 years – and in some cases up to age 23. Our work is based on different theoretical and methodological approaches, all focused on existing resources and development opportunities in the children, young people and families we work with.

Family House is located in the center of Roskilde, a three-minute walk from the station. Family House offers activities for families, children and young people 0-18 years within the early preventive and developmental area. This includes Wellbeing Contact, which handles the easily accessible treatment offers in collaboration with psychiatry.

In the collaboration interfaces for both departments, we base our work on solution-focused core assumptions and methodological tools. This gives us a common language for what we shall and want to do together – both internally and in collaboration with families, authorities and other professional networks.
