The Child and Youth Care Investigation Unit is looking for experienced social workers who want to contribute with security and competence in our cases and within the work group. With us, you will have the opportunity to develop in an organization characterized by professionalism, collaboration, and strong social engagement. We are currently conducting extensive implementation work of Signs of Safety and preparing for the Future Social Services – a journey where we build on what works and continuously develop what is lacking.

We have a new management structure to enable close and sustainable leadership, with four engaged and experienced unit managers for child and youth authority – each responsible for reception, investigation, placement, and family homes and family law.

As an experienced social worker, you also have the opportunity to become a mentor for colleagues, share your knowledge, and contribute in various ways to a culture where learning and quality go hand in hand. Other special assignments may also become relevant, based on the unit's needs and your personal competencies.
