We offer you

In our current unit, we have the privilege of working with target groups such as children and youth as well as domestic violence. Our mission also includes informing residents and professionals about the social services' work by participating in parent meetings, collaboration meetings, and lectures. With the new Social Services Act and to increase accessibility for our residents, the reception will undergo a transformation to include preliminary assessments for all children and adults and become a joint reception for the entire administration. It will be an exciting change!

Supervisors are always available for employees.
36-hour workweek starting in spring 2026.
