Development Leader for Health Promotion Activities

The Support, Care and Welfare Administration (SVO) is an administration focused on innovation and development. The administration employs nearly 900 staff members in the areas of elderly care, home care, support for people with disabilities, health care, and at our assistance office. The core mission of the administration is to provide care, nursing, and rehabilitation for those in need and to support and assist people in living an independent life.

Within our administration, we work person-centered with the user in focus. The work is based on the individual's abilities, needs, and conditions in all parts of the care and support process. A good relationship and mutual respect between the user and staff are important aspects. This includes creating simple and clear pathways into care, safeguarding self-determination and participation, and utilizing the individual's own resources.
