About the workplace

At the turn of the year, we launched our new unit Adults and Disabilities. This unit combines service delivery and administrative authority. It covers housing support and employment activities, as well as case handling within social psychiatry, substance abuse and addiction, LSS (Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments), domestic violence, and support for individuals wishing to leave a criminal lifestyle.

Do you want to work with flexible social support?

We are currently developing work methods with a focus on flexibility, accessibility, and individual adaptation. This means we need to be able to adapt quickly to changing needs and provide the right support at the right time.

In this newly established role, you will work flexibly, with tasks alternating between housing support and employment activities – depending on what best meets the individual's needs and the unit's priorities.

As a colleague within flexible social support, you will work closely with individuals with varying needs for support in their daily lives. Your work may involve assignments in both housing support and employment activities, and you must be prepared to switch between these tasks.

• Adapt support based on the individual's daily form and needs.
• Collaborate with colleagues and other actors around the individual.

The work is varied and requires that you can quickly switch between different tasks, target groups, and working methods.

• A valid B-class driver's license is a requirement.
• Good computer skills and experience with documentation are required.
• Ability to work in homes with animals is a requirement.
