Administrative caseworker for Family Formation - Ringkøbing

Can you see yourself in a workday where we primarily carry out citizen-oriented case handling, supporting administrative tasks for the entire unit, and are you moreover proficient in IT and data-supported work processes? Then you may well be our new colleague in the Family Law House's unit for family formation.

We are a small unit of the Family Law House, which makes decisions within adoption and parenthood and has an advisory obligation to Danish authorities regarding recognition of certain foreign documents.

Vibeke and Solveig, who are employees in Family Formation, need a colleague who together with them will develop in the area of parenthood.

We together decide in up to 10,000 parenthood cases per year, which means we sometimes have quite a busy time. You must therefore be prepared that we work towards a common goal and that everyone does their share of the work. At the same time we as a team are a hub for the citizen's entry to the unit, and perform a lot of journaling work for the rest of the department. Thus we also have a close collaboration with both lawyers and social workers.

There is always opportunity in the unit to expand one's knowledge and competences, so if you want a few more professional challenges, we try to incorporate it into daily life.

Employee Vibeke says: “It is very satisfying to know that one's work has a great impact on the citizens. That we can do it quickly and easily, makes it possible for the small new family to move on with e.g. planning a baptism or making a passport for the little one”.

As our citizens value quick and correct case processing so they can get formal papers in order for their new family, we spend time considering and implementing changes in our case processes.

We are therefore quite closely connected to our IT and Analytics department in the sense that we continuously try to streamline our workflows to benefit our citizens and to ensure valid data basis.

We reach out after our professional knowledge and desires for new thinking, so that our case processes will operate optimally.

We have a good deal of collaboration with, among others, parish offices, family courts and with forensic genetic sampling sites around the country.

We also hold physical or online meetings with individual citizens in a few of our case types. You should also be able to thrive with that.

Employee Solveig says: “We are a small team, but we do not feel alone because the unit itself consists of colleagues who simply have other tasks. We also work a lot across the organization, so if we can help elsewhere, we do so gladly. In spite of being such a small unit we also have a good work-life balance and also the possibility of agreed home office days.”
