While studying

In Health and Welfare, we're committed to giving you, as an apprentice or student, a good experience and a safe start in working life. That's why we offer guidance throughout your studies, a permanent weekend position, and — if we're a good match — a permanent 100% position in the municipality once you complete your studies.

As an apprentice in health and care, you'll receive close guidance and 50% pay throughout your apprenticeship. If you pass your trade exam and have the skills we're looking for, you'll be offered a permanent 100% position.

We know the transition from school to working life can be tough for many, but you'll have a manager who follows you up along the way and provides guidance and feedback. We're looking for someone willing to put in the effort, learn, and adjust their practice based on the feedback they receive.

Core values of the services we provide

Expertise

Everyone receiving services should experience that leaders and employees have strong expertise and work on a knowledge-based approach.

Dignity

Everyone receiving services and their relatives should feel they are met with dignity and respect.

Participation

Everyone receiving services should be encouraged, and given the opportunity, to use their resources — and to take part in a community.

Professional and skills development with us

In Health and Welfare, we prioritise professional and skills development. We have up-to-date, high-quality skills tools available to all employees.

Every year we apply for skills development funding, and in recent years we have made it possible for 35% of employees to complete basic, continuing or further education, or ABC courses, annually. Expertise provides security, quality and growth — and with us, we both expect and enable you to develop as a professional and as a colleague.

We have a wealth of opportunities for you – would you like to be part of our skilled and committed team?
