We offer

We work to offer the right support and interventions to children, young people, and their families through several specialized units.

With us, you will meet competent and engaged colleagues, experienced and present managers, and a culture where we support and develop each other. We work systematically, have the child's best interest in focus, and always strive to improve our ways of working.
