The LSS department is the third largest department within the welfare administration. Our mandate is to implement decisions made under the LSS Act, preferably decisions regarding housing with special service, personal assistance, and day activities.

The work often involves working alone, and working hours vary as we provide interventions during the day, evening, weekend, and night.

You drive development work forward together with colleagues according to established goals, methods, quality requirements, and other guidelines. Collaborating with the user's network, other staff, and other partners is also an important part of the work.
