• Investigating and making decisions on new applications for financial assistance
• Collaborating with other actors both internally and externally

Is this you?

We believe you are a person with a structured working method who enjoys making independent assessments while also being able to collaborate and cooperate well in a team. You are proactive and have a positive attitude, even when there is a lot going on.
