Auditor (100%, ideally job sharing)

Together with the Child and Adult Protection Authority (KESB), we are committed to protecting and supporting children and adults who, due to their personal situation, require assistance and are unable or only partially able to represent their own interests. Our goal is to support affected individuals through personalised and needs-based measures while respecting their fundamental rights, self-determination, and dignity. The audit office reviews the accountability reports of guardians, participates in the preparation of inventories, and supports the authority in financial and asset-related matters as well as in assessing transactions requiring consent.

Due to the professional advancement of the previous long-standing post holder, we are seeking a committed individual as an auditor (100%, ideally job sharing) from 1 February 2027 or by arrangement.
