You will be part of the youths' schooling, cooking and cleaning routines, evening activities, and more, as those living here do so around the clock. All activities are carried out safely and are carefully risk-assessed before implementation. You will work on building secure relationships, as well as utilizing selected and effective treatment methods. Documentation is an important part of your work, contributing to legal security, planning, and follow-up of our operations.
