You keep the user's needs and best interests in focus and work to ensure that services are delivered with good quality and based on the individual's circumstances. In pressured and difficult situations, you remain calm and have the ability to make well-founded assessments and make decisions even under time pressure. You take responsibility for your work tasks, work independently and in a structured manner, and can make your own decisions when the situation requires it. You plan, prioritize, and follow up on your work in an efficient way. You collaborate well with others, take responsibility for both your own and shared work tasks, and contribute to the group achieving its common goals.
