Do you want to make a real difference for children and young people – in an organization that dares to develop?

Here, you will have the opportunity to work with one of society's most important missions – contributing to safety, development, and hope for the future for children and young people. We are now looking for two dedicated social secretaries (social workers) within investigations to join our unit.

About the workplace

No one is alone in their mission here – we are a team that supports, learns from each other, and takes joint responsibility for the development of the operations.
