Temporary Hiring Assignment: Regional Youth Project Manager, with a Focus on Residential Care
Job Description
The region collectively contracts youth services and collaborates programmatically on the regional policy document. This document incorporates the Youth Reform Agenda and the Future Scenario for Youth Protection.
In 2026, we have many projects underway that rely on youth policy resources. In 2026, the bidding process will take place for outpatient youth care, residential youth care, and—at the supraregional level—highly specialized youth care. We are also still working on implementing the new contract with SVMN.
At the same time, the region is working through the Regioplan to finalize the necessary arrangements ahead of the new contracts taking effect on January 1, 2027. This involves six projects, all of which we are implementing in line with the regional strategy document and which are interconnected.
The region has decided to hire a project manager to handle all matters related to Residential Youth Care. The attached Residential Care project has been formally approved, so the project manager can get started.
You will work closely with the regional policy advisor and youth residence contract manager, the local teams, the project leader for Strong Local Teams, and the back-office staff. You will be part of the team working on the Regioplan.
Given the interconnected nature of procurement and the regional plan, the scope of the accommodation portfolio is not strictly defined. Depending on what is needed during a given period, we ask that you remain flexible in this area, while always keeping in mind the needs of the accommodation sector.
We are looking for a regional project manager for the Accommodation project .
