Brogården

We are expanding our operations! We are entering an exciting new phase where, in addition to our investigations, we will also be responsible for the municipality's crisis support after child interviews. Therefore, we are increasing our workforce of family investigators with two permanent positions and a one-year temporary position. Does this sound interesting? We welcome your application!

Brogården is an operation within Uppsala municipality that works on behalf of social services and targets families with children aged 0–12 years. Common to most families that come to Brogården is that they are in a difficult social situation where deficiencies in the parents' caregiving ability have created concern for the children's care and development. The goal of all our work is to focus on the children's safety and development, as well as the development potential in the parent-child relationship. Overall, our work with children and their parents is to ensure that our work is carried out as predictably, safely, and legally as possible.

As an employee, you will notice our drive and investment in knowledge and skills development, through opportunities for further education and good supervision. We create internal projects to continuously develop, which fosters pride and engagement among us as employees in our daily work.
