Do you want to help strengthen the well-being of children and youngsters from the earliest years? 37 hours per week – starting 1 January 2027

About us You will be part of the Public Health Nursing in the Center for Children and Family in the Municipality of Tårnby.

In the Center for Children and Family we strive every day to give children and young people the best opportunities for well-being, development and participation in communities.
