With us, you will work on current societal issues that are affected by what happens in our surroundings. Issues that concern and engage. We offer a dynamic environment where continuous improvements and meeting people are in focus.

The reception and return center is a new type of workplace. You will work with issues that concern and engage in a dynamic environment characterized by meeting people and influenced by what happens in our surroundings. It is also an environment characterized by continuous learning and participation, where we, through co-location, have better conditions to work closely together between the professions in the asylum process. We are also close to the asylum seekers by working where they live. This allows us to work more efficiently and make it safer for the asylum seeker.
