JOB DESCRIPTION

As a family law secretary, your task is to support children and parents in family law matters based on the Parental Code and the Social Services Act. Family law conducts information meetings, writes statements, and investigates issues regarding custody, residence, and visitation at the request of the district court. You will lead collaboration meetings at the initiative of parents and, in some cases, at the request of the district court. You will handle paternity/parenthood cases, write agreements regarding custody, residence, and visitation, and implement visitations with visitation support. Furthermore, it also includes conducting consent investigations for adoption, including follow-up reports, as well as other customary but less frequently occurring tasks in the field.

The work as a family law secretary is done in collaboration with the foster care secretary, where each has primary responsibility for their area but collaborates in parts where they need a colleague. You will thus have primary responsibility for the family law area but also be involved in the foster care area. The position of foster care secretary includes investigating and recruiting foster homes, contact families, and contact persons, as well as writing agreements and guiding foster homes in their assignments.

We are a small municipality, and being flexible and willing to help each other across boundaries when needed is an important prerequisite for meeting our clients' needs. Therefore, we are looking for someone who is engaged, who wants to be part of a constantly evolving operation, and who has a forward-driving force.

We offer you:

• An important, exciting, and developing job
• A stable, ambitious, and competent workgroup
• Close leadership
• A good working climate with friendly colleagues
• Support in daily work based on needs
• Flexible hours with some opportunity to work from home
