About the workplace

The Collaborative Guardianship Authority is organizationally placed within the municipal management office.

The unit also includes budget and debt counseling.

The Guardianship Authority is a supervisory authority whose main task is to supervise representatives. This is done partly by reviewing the accounting documents that they must submit to the authority and partly because certain administrative actions require consent from the Guardianship Authority. The Guardianship Authority's task is also to recruit and train guardians and curators. We offer an important and developing job with interesting, varied, and challenging tasks. You will be part of an engaged team that supports each other and shares knowledge with each other.

The office is located in premises in central Uddevalla. Good commuting opportunities with a few minutes' walk from Uddevalla central station and Kampenhof bus station.
