You contribute to creating meaning and security where the operations are shaped according to the users' abilities and needs.

Together with other staff, you are responsible for the planning, implementation, evaluation, and development of the operations. The duties include documentation, both individually and together with other staff. You prepare activity descriptions, implementation plans, and action plans to meet the user's interests and needs. As an activity leader, you have administrative and practical responsibilities that are necessary for the execution of the operations. You are expected to participate actively in any change work and constantly work solution-focused for the best interests of the users.

It is an advantage if you have experience with documentation work.
