• Professional sparring and opportunities to develop your competencies within substance use treatment.
• A daily life with independent responsibility and the possibility to make a concrete difference for the citizens.
• An workplace where we value professionalism, decency and psychological safety.
• Collegial community where we take our tasks seriously, but also have room for humor and good laughs – even when the work is demanding.
