Social work professionals wanted for our Solisttilbud

Would you like to help create a safe, structured and developmental everyday life for a child or a young person?

At SocialNetværket we continuously experience that new children and young people are placed with us in our Solist offer. Therefore we want to be proactive and build a strong professional team of employees who are ready to take on new tasks.

We are therefore continually looking for social-educational professionals – preferably pedagogues or pedagogical assistants – who want to work closely with a child or a young person and be an important part of the entire effort surrounding the child.

A Solist offer is more than a workday

When a child or a young person is placed in our Solist offer, that is the child’s home and base.

That means that we do not only work with single parts of the child’s daily life. We work with the whole child and the whole of the child’s life.

As an employee you are therefore involved in creating the framework around the child – from morning to evening and through both the good and the challenging periods.

It includes, among other things

• to create a clear and predictable structure
• to plan and create coherence in the child’s daily life
• to support the child in developing strategies and coping
• to work with relation, well-being and development
• to be attentive to the child’s signals and needs
• to handle conflicts and difficult situations professionally
• to support the child in school, leisure, activities and social relationships
• to collaborate with parents and networks
• to collaborate with school, municipality and other partners
• to document and follow up on the pedagogical effort
• to work based on action plans, goals and professional strategies
• to create continuity between staff and shifts
• to take responsibility for the practical tasks that naturally follow from having a child or young person living with you.

In short: We are around the whole child – not only certain hours or activities.

Structure is an important part of our professionalism

Many of the children and young people placed in our Solist offer require a high degree of structure, clarity and predictability.

Therefore you must be able to create a daily life where the child knows what will happen, what is expected, and who is around the child.

You must be able to plan ahead, follow up and be consistent in a calm and acknowledging manner.

At the same time you must be able to adjust the structure when the child’s needs change.

It requires employees who can think pedagogically before, during and after a situation – and who can see the connection between the child’s behaviour, well-being, development and the framework we create around the child.

You will become an important adult in the child’s life

In a Solist offer you become part of the child’s close daily life.

You must be able to build a relationship in which the child experiences you as a safe, clear and stable adult.

You must be able to be close without taking over, set boundaries without creating unnecessary conflict and maintain an overview when the child is having a hard time.

Some days things go as planned.

Other days they do not.

Therefore you must be able to work structurally and at the same time be flexible when reality requires it.

We are looking for you who

• are a trained pedagogue, pedagogical assistant or have another relevant social-educational education
• have experience with children and young people – preferably from the specialized social sector
• have strong relationship skills
• can create and maintain structure
• work systematically and can maintain an overview
• can translate professional goals into concrete pedagogical practice
• can observe, document and reflect on one’s own practice
• can work calmly and professionally in stressful situations
• can be clear and compassionate at the same time
• can see the child’s behaviour as communication and be curious about what lies behind it
• can collaborate closely with colleagues, families, school, municipality and other partners
• take responsibility for both the pedagogical and practical tasks around the child.

You do not need to be able to do everything from day one. The most important is that you have the willingness, professionalism and curiosity to get to know the child and develop your pedagogical approach together with us.

You are not alone

Although the Solist offer is built around one child or one young person, you do not bear the responsibility alone.

You become part of a team around the child and at the same time part of SocialNetværket’s larger professional community.

We work among other things with

• professional sparring
• P-meetings
• supervision
• ongoing follow-up on the effort
• introduction and training
• relevant courses and skills development
• close collaboration between employees and management.

We emphasize that employees work in the same direction so that the child experiences familiarity, continuity and clear frameworks, regardless of who is on duty.

Working hours

The working hours depend on the concrete Solist offer.

There may be

• long day shifts (e.g., 9-22)
• evening shifts
• overnight shifts
• weekend work
• shifting working hours.

When we receive a concrete assignment, we will talk with you about the content of the task, working hours and the concrete framework.

Would you like to join?

We are continually seeking new employees because our Solist offer is evolving and new children and young people are placed with us.

Therefore this posting is also an opportunity for you who would like to work with the Solist area, even if there is not necessarily a vacant position right now.

When we receive a new task, we look among our applicant pool to find the best professional and human match.

If you can see yourself in a job where structure, relationships, professionalism and responsibility go hand in hand, we would love to hear from you.
