We are now looking for employees for our IFO operation in the area of children and young people. Here you will be part of an engaged team that continues to develop Ulricehamn's social services. New thinking and creativity are rewarded. We have good collaboration between the units within IFO, and we work together. In our operations, we use a systemic approach, which we have done for over 10 years. This means, among other things, a more humane way of treating both employees and users.

This has resulted in several experienced employees who have chosen to work long-term within the organization. There are good opportunities for mentorship and a good introduction. As a new employee, you will be well taken care of.
