To ensure good accessibility, we staff the facilities seven days a week and work in shifts, including evenings and weekends.

We are looking for you who are a problem solver, curious, and open to learning new things. You thrive working both independently and in a group. As a person, you are proactive, stress-resistant, and have a good ability to interact professionally with citizens, associations, and visitors.
