JOB DESCRIPTION

We are expanding the family law department with two social workers in the spring of 2025.

One of the positions is planned to focus on preventive family law work. The purpose of this focus is to enable the family law department to support separated families at an early stage, achieve higher accuracy in interventions, and create lasting change for children and guardians.

The other position involves working with all aspects of the family law department's assignments, such as conducting custody, residence, and visitation investigations, collaboration discussions, and paternity investigations. Regardless of focus, you need to be prepared to work with all aspects of the family law department's assignments if the need arises.

As a social worker in family law, you need to manage multiple individual cases and constantly work based on the individual's needs. The work is varied and educational; no two days are alike. You will challenge and be challenged, and it requires commitment and versatility. We are looking for you who want to work to promote sustainable solutions between parents that strengthen the child's perspective.

As we expand the operation with two new employees, our goal is to hire committed and forward-thinking social workers who want to work with family law focused on children, youth, and parents. The focus is to ensure the child's situation and best interests throughout all processes.

If you want to work with us, you will join a team that currently consists of eight social workers and one unit manager. With us, you will be part of a team that works closely together and serves as a sounding board for you alongside the unit manager in your daily work. We also strive for you to work together with a colleague.

Selection is ongoing.
