Would you like to help shape the future of services for people with disabilities?

Adapted Services (TT) is a central part of Health and Well-being in the Municipality of Hamar. We provide services to residents at all stages of life—from children and youth to adults—with various needs related to disabilities.

With us, you’ll become part of a professional community that’s constantly evolving. TT currently consists of 16 adapted group homes, two respite care units, and a work and activity center. In addition, we provide services to people living in their own homes throughout the municipality.

We are now looking for dedicated and clear-thinking leaders who want to help further develop our services and meet future needs in the areas of health and self-reliance. With us, you’ll work alongside talented colleagues with broad expertise, great dedication, and a strong sense of professional pride.
