• Contribute to a promoting and preventive approach in line with the new SoL.
• Coordinate contacts and create security through good collaboration with care, authorities, and civil society.

As a person, you are driven, interested in client work, and have good collaboration skills. You thrive when the work is varied and reality-based. You want to be part of the solution – in big and small ways.

A valid driver's license, category B, is required.

Before employment, a criminal record extract must be presented.
