JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We are now looking for someone interested in a developing job where you will support individuals in their daily lives and enable them to have a meaningful existence. We offer a stimulating job where you, together with the unit manager, support pedagogue, and work group, participate in planning and developing the operations.
