Welcome to develop with us! We are looking for a team leader for social workers in the children’s unit for ages 0-11.

We are looking for a team leader for social workers in the children’s unit. In the children’s unit, we work with investigations according to SoL and LVU as well as follow-up of interventions for children aged 0-11 years.

We work with a cohesive approach to ensure that families have contact with the same social worker throughout the investigation as much as possible. Work in the children’s unit is supported by BBIC, iRiSk, and Signs of Safety. All groups have external supervision.

In addition to the children’s unit, we have a youth unit and an intervention unit where we work specifically and follow up on placed youth in HVB, SiS, and support housing.
