About the position

In our daily activities, we offer varied tasks, tailored to the needs and wishes of the users, and will work with continuous development in this where your opinion and experience are important – together with your colleagues, of course.

We work in a low-arousal manner and with clarifying pedagogy to create a predictable and meaningful everyday life.
