Family Worker for Familiehuset and Skansen – Frederikshavn Municipality

Are you passionate about working with families in vulnerable positions – both preventive and in more intensive programs?

Then we have an exciting position where you will be part of both Family House and Skansen in Frederikshavn Municipality.

About Family House and Skansen

Family House is a municipal offering in Frederikshavn Municipality, that works with preventive and treatment interventions for children, young people and their families aged 0-18 years. Interventions range from shorter counseling periods to longer-term family treatment with a focus on strengthening well-being, relationships and parenting.
