About you

You are a licensed nurse and enjoy working solution-focused.

With commitment and a positive attitude, you contribute together with your colleagues to a good working climate where we all cooperate and help each other.

Previous work experience in psychiatry, treatment homes, correctional care, or similar activities is an advantage.
