Your New Workplace

The administration consists of four operational areas, and within the areas of Children, Youth, and Family as well as Substance Abuse and Mental Health, we are now looking for two method and quality developers.

Since July 2025, we have a new social services act that has replaced the old law from 1980. Within the scope of social services, an exciting and important transition work is currently underway, which overall means making social services more adapted to today's society. The new law imposes higher demands on preventive and knowledge-based work, accessibility, and planning of social services interventions. Additionally, the new law strengthens the perspective of children's rights.

As a method and quality developer, you will play a central role in the operational area's and administration's transition work related to the intentions of the new social services act, where work with quality and operational development is central. You will be an important support function in the ongoing transition, where follow-up, analysis, and development work together with other functions such as management groups, unit managers, and employees will contribute to effective interventions for our target groups, as well as ensuring that political goals are met.
