Social Pedagogue for the Youth Housing

Would you make a difference for young people? Are you professionally grounded and able to translate theory into pedagogical practice? Do you enjoy movement, and can you incorporate nature into work with young people? Then you might be our new colleague.

We are looking for a social-educational pedagogue with great commitment who is passionate about making a difference for young people who need professional support.

About us

Ungehyblerne is part of the Children and Youth Department, which is a joint children and youth area in Halsnæs municipality. Here we work across disciplines to improve the well-being of vulnerable young people.

Your main task will be to support the young person’s well-being, development and learning - in close collaboration with the young person and through social-pedagogical expertise and targeted initiatives. We are ambitious about strengthening the young person’s ability to master an independent adult life in their own home.

With us, we prioritize a holistic approach, where key elements include a mentalization-based and affirming approach.

Ungehyblerne is Halsnæs Municipality’s residential facility for young people aged 15-22 who need support to transition well into adult life. We have space for 22 young people, primarily distributed across two sites.

Your tasks

We are a dedicated staff group of seven employees with broad experience within the social-pedagogical field. The work mainly consists of supporting the young people to go to school/complete education and to acquire skills to manage themselves in their own housing, as well as to develop despite a challenging childhood/upbringing.

Around half of the working time is self-planned according to the needs of the young people, which provides a high degree of flexibility. Together with your colleagues, you will enter into partnerships where, based on the young person’s resources and wishes, you work systematically, focused and targeted so that they reach their development goals.

As part of the pedagogical approach, we use nature among other things, and it is advantageous if you have experience with or an interest in this.
