• create an overview of the trajectory and be a consistent person for the child/adolescent and the family
• participate in cross-disciplinary meetings, network meetings and outpatient conversations
• Can assist with preparing child-friendly patient information, e.g. small videos. (not an expectation that you can do it, but that you will learn it)

Your competencies We place particular emphasis on ensuring that you

• have a relevant health or pedagogical education
• can see patterns and changes in the child

dolescent99s function and well-being

• can document briefly, precisely, systematically and objectively – both in writing and verbally

• are comfortable in the role as a unifying person in interdisciplinary collaborations
• have good communication skills and can convey to both families and professionals
• thrive with flexibility in tasks and working hours and can adapt to current needs

Flexibility and working hours Working hours are planned flexibly according to the tasks and the current needs in the trajectories. There may be work at different times depending on activities in the Functional Team and the needs of the children, adolescents and their families.
