About the position

In the Social Sector in the Region of Central Denmark, you will be part of the legal team, where you together with your colleague will be responsible for translating legislation and administrative practice into solutions that work in everyday life.

Collaboration and knowledge sharing are central – both in the legal team, in the Social Sector’s Staff, and across the specialized areas. Together we work to ensure a high and consistent legal quality.

The workweek varies between the office in Viborg, meetings and training at offerings around the region and the possibility of remote work. You thus get a versatile position with a broad contact surface and the opportunity to make the law concrete and applicable for both employees, managers and citizens.

• Contribute to the professional development, knowledge sharing and collaboration of the legal team.

We expect that you

• Have a relevant legal education
• Have experience with legal advice within the specialized social sector and a solid knowledge of the relevant social and health legislation.
• Have experience planning and delivering training and can convey complex legal issues to different professional groups.
• Thrive in a large, politically led organization and navigate confidently across disciplines and geographies
• Work independently, systematically and solution-oriented – even when tasks are complex and urgent
• Collaborate closely with your colleague in the legal team and actively contribute to the team’s professional profile and culture
• Have a driving license (the legal team regularly conducts training at regional social facilities across the Region of Central Denmark)

We attach importance to you being comfortable both in a advisory and in a teaching role and able to create an overview in complex issues. You have an eye for solutions that are legally sound and work in practice.

As a person you are collaborative, curious and good at building relationships. You take responsibility for your tasks and actively contribute to joint solutions.
