SSP consultant for Lejre Municipality

Prevention starts long before something goes wrong SSP-samarbejdet handler om at forebygge kriminalitet og risikoadfærd blandt børn og unge. Men for os handler forebyggelse også om det, der kommer før. Hvis det også er sådan du ser SSP-arbejdet, er det måske dig vi søger i vores SSP-team i Lejre Kommune.

As an SSP consultant you work both broadly preventively and with concrete concerns about individual youths and groups of young people. You must be present where the young people are, build relationships and translate your observations into action.

Du samarbejder med skoler, klubber, foreningsliv, forældre, politi og kolleger på tværs af børne- og ungeområdet. Sammen skal vi skabe veje ind i positive fællesskaber og udvikle nye aktiviteter og forebyggende indsatser, når behovet opstår.

You collaborate with schools, clubs, associations, parents, police and colleagues across the child and youth sector. Together we shall create pathways into positive communities and develop new activities and preventive initiatives as needs arise.

From talking with the young person to a full parents’ meeting SSP-arbejdet kræver, at du kan bevæge dig mellem forskellige arenaer. Du skal kunne skabe naturlig kontakt til unge og samtidig være tryg ved at formidle viden til skoleklasser, fagprofessionelle og større forsamlinger.

SSP work requires that you can move between different arenas. You must be able to establish natural contact with young people and at the same time feel comfortable conveying knowledge to school classes, professionals and larger gatherings.

Det kan handle om ungdomsliv, rusmidler, kriminalitet, digitale fællesskaber eller aktuelle tendenser blandt børn og unge. Du skal kunne formidle faglig viden levende, troværdigt og i øjenhøjde med målgruppen.

It may involve youth life, substances, crime, digital communities or current trends among children and young people. You must be able to convey professional knowledge in a lively, credible and relatable way to the target group.

Du skal blandt andet

• Be visible and accessible in the environments where children and young people spend time
• Create contact with young people and groups – including those on the margins of communities
• Identify and respond to worrying trends and risk behaviors
• Support young people’s participation in positive activities and communities
• Collaborate with schools, clubs, police, parents, associations and municipal departments
• Plan and conduct presentations, teaching and dialogue programs for students, parents and professionals
• Contribute with advice, sparring and professional knowledge
• Identify new needs and develop SSP-relevant projects and preventive initiatives
• Document the work and translate knowledge about developments in the youth area into action

You become part of something bigger SSP is part of our new Center for Families, Youth and Early Intervention, where we have gathered several professional strands to create stronger coherence in our efforts around children, youths and families.

SSP is located in the Youth Department together with the authority area for youths over 15, the Education Guidance and Youth & Employment.

It provides good opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration. For a young person, an SSP case is rarely just an SSP case, a school case or an employment case. Life is interconnected – and our interventions should be too.

Who are you? Your educational background can be pedagogical, social or another relevant education. The most important is that you have experience with children and young people and can translate your professional knowledge into practice.

We place emphasis on that you

• Are strong in relationship work and can connect with different youths
• Have an eye for both the individual youth, group dynamics and the environments in which youths operate
• Are creative and action-oriented and can develop projects and rally others around new initiatives
• Can adapt your communication to youths, parents and professionals
• Work independently and value interdisciplinary collaboration
• Are willing to have difficult conversations and be clear when something concerns you and has a structured approach to the work

Kendskab til SSP-området og kriminalitetsforebyggelse er en fordel, men vi er også interesserede i dig, der har solid erfaring med unge og ønsker at bringe den ind i SSP-arbejdet.

A day at work that doesn’t always fit in a calendar SSP-arbejde følger ikke nødvendigvis almindelig kontortid. Du skal derfor være indstillet på, at arbejdet indimellem ligger om eftermiddagen eller aftenen, når det giver bedst mening i forhold til de unge.

Til gengæld får du en varieret arbejdsdag med stor selvstændighed. Du kan den ene dag stå i et klasselokale, den næste være ude blandt unge og den tredje samle fagprofessionelle om en bekymring eller en ny indsats.

Fælles for opgaverne er, at du skal skabe forbindelser og være med til at handle, før problemerne vokser sig større.

Would you like to join? Hvis du er blevet nysgerrig på stillingen, er du meget velkommen til at kontakte SSP-konsulent Søren Helmersen på telefon 2963 8145 eller afdelingsleder Janika Wiene på telefon 2152 3461.
