Can you see yourself in an open office, filled with thoughtful and ambitious colleagues who often leave a gadget or a note on your desk because it reminded them of you?

Then look to us in Halsnæs. For we mean it when we say that the vision is to become North Zealand's best workplace with a focus on development, learning, community, and care.

You will enter an exciting and professionally active learning environment, where the focus on the LØFT method, professional judgment, cross-disciplinary perspectives, and task flexibility across roles is a major shared focus.

• We have healthy and action-oriented learning environments. We create this with a focus on our culture, which centers around cohesion, security, and trust in each other.
• We work methodically with LØFT and prioritize supervision and learning of this method.

Among other things, this contributes to us successfully getting people back to work each day in a respectful way. Our driving force is co-creation with both citizens, colleagues, and partners. We can do that because our collaboration takes place within a framework where we are inspired by each other with great trust and security.

We have a strong focus for all citizen groups in the employment effort on the company-focused approach, paid hours, rapid progression in the programs, and together with retention consultants, job brokers and partners, close collaboration with local businesses.

Your tasks will include

• Employment-oriented motivation work for sick-listed citizens
