Re-advertisement - Experienced professionals for a permanent position as well as a maternity leave cover in our new professional teams in the child disability area in Esbjerg

Are you e.g. social worker, lawyer, psychologist, educator, social educator, physiotherapist, social facilitator or an HR administrator.

Can you imagine a workplace where professionalism closely collaborates with others – and where we collectively make it all succeed.

Where difficult decisions are not resting on your shoulders alone – but shared in a strong and committed community. You don’t just follow the development… you help shape it.

That is exactly what we offer.

We challenge the way we work – and we need you who dare

We are building new professional teams from the ground up. Not as a project – but as a new way of working.

One common mission

To create cohesive, holistic solutions for children and young people with disabilities and their families.

With us, teamwork means

• Shared responsibility for the tasks
• Decisions made together
• No one faces the tough cases alone
• Close sparring in everyday life

Most importantly: Joint professional pride

Your role – as part of the team

You will be an active part of a professional team where you together follow cases from start to finish.

Together with your colleagues you will

• Work with case processing according to the child’s Act
• Contribute to professional assessments and determinations
• Engage in close dialogue with children, youths, families and networks
• Work with disability-compensating interventions
• Ensure quality, coherence and direction in the processes

With us you don’t just follow the case – you actively help shape it along the way .

How we work

We believe you achieve the best result when you don’t sit alone with the difficult issues.

Therefore we have chosen to work in fixed teams, where

• You share the responsibility for the team’s total tasks
• You make the decisions together
• You actively use each other’s competencies and qualities
• Consultation is a natural part of everyday life
• Complexity is handled collectively

It requires something – but it gives even more – namely professional development, security, better solutions and you never stand alone.

Who are you?

You have a relevant professional background – e.g. social worker, legal, psychological, pedagogical, physiological, social facilitator or HR administrator.

What’s important

• You want to be part of something new
• You will take responsibility and contribute actively
• You communicate clearly, respectfully and professionally
• You thrive in collaboration
• You are curious about others’ perspectives
• Be willing to challenge conventional thinking and put yourself in play
• You have a driving license (preferably with the possibility to provide a car yourself)

Experience counts – but your approach and mindset are decisive.

What you get with us

We know that high professional quality requires good conditions

• A strong professional environment with lots of sparring
• Visible and approachable leadership
• A culture characterized by trust and shared responsibility
• Good opportunities for professional development
• Thorough onboarding
• Flexible working conditions and possibility for remote work
• Choice between 4- or 5-day workweek
