Do you want to help make a noticeable difference for children, young people and their families in Nyborg Municipality, do you thrive on building something new from the ground up, understand the importance of cross‑sector collaboration, and are you someone who brings things to completion, then we would like to hear from you.

We are expanding our Authority area for children, young people and their families within Social and Family, which is why we are seeking a professional coordinator for our newly established department, Duty and Reception.

You will, in addition to duty and reception, also become the coordinator for the 24‑hour on‑call duty.

The position is 37 hours per week with start on 1 January 2027.

Social and Family

Social and Family encompasses the entire specialized social area, authority, and services for children, young people, disability and adults. Together we work to create the greatest possible value for citizens through holistic solutions and strong professional collaboration. Our approach is built on the values of community, courage, and visionary action. This means that we stand together in our responsibility, dare to think differently and actively seek better ways to support citizens’ well‑being and development.

As a unified department we work purposefully to deliver quality at all levels and ensure that citizens meet an organization that starts from their needs and meets them with both professionalism and respect.

Duty and Reception will become an integrated part of the Myndighedsområdet (Authority Area) in Social and Family.

The department currently consists of about 35 capable and dedicated employees, including social workers, family foster consultants and occupational therapists, as well as a department head and three coordinators.

We place high value on close, multidisciplinary collaboration and believe that the best solutions come from working together. Our work environment is characterized by high professionalism, great helpfulness, and an informal tone, where there is also room for a good laugh in everyday life.
