Family Home and Family Law Unit

The Family Law Unit in Ale is recruiting a family law secretary. The unit consists of three workgroups: family law, family home secretaries, and child secretaries. The unit is led by a unit manager, and for work management and methodological support, there are two senior social secretaries. There is also a social administrator attached to the unit who assists with a range of administrative tasks. In family law, we are a total of five family law secretaries and one senior social secretary.

Family Law

The Family Law Unit is looking for someone who has good collaboration skills and relates to others in a responsive manner. In addition to exciting and varied tasks, the work involves a pleasant work environment characterized by well-established routines, good cooperation among colleagues, and strong team spirit.

In the workgroup, there is strong commitment, high competence, and many years of experience in family law with a focus on development work. To promote legal certainty and quality, co-handling is used where family law secretaries work in pairs.

You will also handle paternity and parenthood, enforce visitation support following court decisions, manage cases related to international and national adoption, lead collaboration discussions, and be responsible for telephone advice.
