We have a well-functioning structure both at the unit level and at the Family Division. All new employees receive a thorough introductory education aimed at increasing both your competence and understanding of the organization you work in. In addition, you will get to know a great group of people to laugh and work with.

Interviews for the position will be held after the holiday season.
