Relationships with young people are built on voluntary engagement, trust, and respect. Field operations are focused on monitoring the environment and promoting safety. You will work both proactively and in systematic collaboration within your own department and with external organizations such as schools, police, and civil society. You will work to strengthen young people's belief in the future and their empowerment, as well as to support and motivate them towards positive change.

You should also have insight into the importance of drug prevention work. Good communication with parents is also a vital part of the job. The work requires you to be flexible and solution-focused. You should be confident, stable, and possess good self-awareness. We expect you to work well in a team but also have the ability to independently drive your own processes.
