Our professional foundation

Roden is a partially closed department at Grenen-Glesborg with space for six youths between 12 and 18 years old. The youths can be placed due to crime, substance abuse or behavior, and several may have developmental disorders or mental illnesses.

We work from three guiding principles

• Caring relationships – we take responsibility for the relationship and create safety
• Respectful approach – we meet the young people with respect, curiosity and understanding
• Structure – we create predictability through clear frameworks and a meaningful daily life

The principles form the framework for a structured, relationship-based and respectful approach, where everyday life is actively used as part of the pedagogical work and supports each young person's development, well-being and social skills with a basis in resources and needs.

We believe that all young people have potential for development when they are met with professionalism, clarity and persistent adults.

Your everyday

As a social educator you will be an important part of the youths' everyday life. You create safe relationships, plan activities, work on each young person's development goals and collaborate closely with colleagues, teachers, psychologists and workshop staff on a holistic approach.

We believe development happens through meaningful relationships and activities.
