Then you are the one we are looking for at Svendborg Crisis Center.

We are looking for an engaged, caring and practically oriented colleague who wants to become part of our small crisis center.

About Svendborg Crisis Center

Svendborg Crisis Center is a small crisis center with space for 7 women and their accompanying children.

We offer temporary residence under the Social Services Act § 109 to women who have experienced violence or threats of violence in close relationships.

We work to create safe and homely settings where women and children receive support, care and the opportunity to regain their footing.

We are a small staff group working closely together. With us there is not far from idea to action, and we emphasize professionalism, presence, humor and good collaboration.

About the position

You will be part of the daily support to the women and their children. You must be able to build good relationships, be present and have an eye for what each person needs.

You should also be willing to take the initiative for activities that create community, good experiences and small breaks from the difficult things the women and children are facing.

At the same time you will help to keep the house and ensure that the crisis center is a nice and safe place to be.

Your tasks will include;
