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

Here, you 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) specializing in placements for our investigation unit.
