Do you want to help make a difference for young girls who need safe adults around them?
At Angerlarsimaffik Pilutaq in Sisimiut, we are looking for skilled and unskilled workers who are passionate about relationship work and who want to create stability, presence, and good experiences in everyday life for our girls aged 11 to 17.

About us

Pilutaq is a nationwide residential institution under the Department of Social Affairs, Family, and Justice.
Our girls come from all over Greenland and have experienced various forms of neglect. Therefore, they need adults who can create both structure, care, and warmth – and who dare to stand firm, even when it is difficult.

Our pedagogical approach is cognitive, resource-oriented, and appreciative, and we work in an environment where both professionalism and humanity are at the center.
We emphasize that the girls have a daily life that resembles a home – with schooling, leisure interests, and a social life in the city.
On weekends and holidays, we go on cabin trips, hunting and skiing trips, or colonies in the villages, where community and nature play an important role in working with the girls.

Your tasks

• To create a daily life characterized by safety, structure, and care

• To support the girls in developing self-confidence, responsibility, and independence

• To plan and participate in activities and trips together with colleagues and residents

• To engage in close interdisciplinary collaboration with educators, management, and other staff

• To function as a contact person for one of the residents

• To work in changing working hours – morning, evening, and night shifts

We envision that you

• Have experience with or interest in working with placed children and young people

• Are stable, robust, and responsible

• Can create structure and clarity, but at the same time meet the girls with warmth and humor

• Thrive in an environment where community, collaboration, and professional reflection are part of everyday life

• Are open to participating in colonies, trips, and projects in nature

We offer

• A meaningful and versatile job where you make a real difference

• A workplace where you are seen, heard, and valued

• Professional sparring, supervision, and training

• An appreciative and engaged colleague community that supports each other

• Opportunity to contribute ideas and initiatives that strengthen everyday life for the girls
