Welcome to Smedjebacken Municipality!
Smedjebacken Municipality is beautifully situated at the start of the Strömsholm Canal and offers a unique combination of the tranquility of the countryside and proximity to both the city and nature experiences. Here, there are great opportunities for those who want to work and live in an inspiring and growing environment, where community development and sustainability are in focus. With a strong sense of community, a rich cultural offering, and beautiful nature, Smedjebacken provides both a pleasant workplace and a place to grow and thrive. Welcome to become a part of us!
Adult Unit IFO
The Adult Unit is led by a unit manager and consists of four social workers who work with financial assistance, two social workers who work with harmful use and dependency/other adults, one therapist/field assistant, and two therapists within Open Care. The position we are seeking is focused on harmful use, dependency/other adults. Other adults may include domestic violence and social contracts.
We work to establish close leadership where the unit manager is available in everyday life. We value employees who have their own ideas and want to contribute to the development of the organization. We are a small office, and when needed, we help each other and support one another.
Job Responsibilities
As a social worker, you will be responsible for investigations according to the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act on Care of Abusers in Certain Cases (LVM) for clients with harmful use, dependency/dependency on alcohol, drugs, or gambling. You will investigate and follow up on domestic violence. You will be responsible for assessment, planning, and follow-up. The work involves contact with individuals in the form of visits, home visits, phone calls, and collaboration with inpatient care, as well as documentation work and contact with other authorities. The job requires that you can work independently and find individual solutions.
The work is flexible based on certain given conditions, and there is ample room for ideas and innovative thinking. Other tasks may also occur, and the content and conditions of the work may change over time. A probationary period may be applied.
Qualifications
We are looking for someone with a degree in social work, behavioral science education, or other education that the employer deems equivalent. You should be well acquainted with the administrative requirements and legislation that govern the operations. Since the job involves a lot of documentation, high demands are placed on administrative skills and the ability to express oneself well in the Swedish language, both orally and in writing.
IT skills are a requirement, and knowledge of the operational system LifeCare is an advantage. A driver's license is required as the job involves travel within and outside the municipality. Experience of authority exercise within social work is an advantage. Previous experience working with harmful use and dependency issues is desirable, as well as training in MI and ASI.
Personal Qualities
You are clear, communicative, and structured with a high degree of personal maturity and self-awareness. You are attentive and can accommodate anxiety and provide support even in complex contexts. To thrive in the role of social worker, we believe you have a strong commitment and an interest in social work. You have the courage to make a difference for vulnerable people in society, and one of your strengths is building relationships and collaborating.
Since the job involves many contact points, it is important that you have the ability to nurture and build good relationships. Skills such as communication, responsibility, and unpretentious collaboration are important to us, as well as a good attitude.
Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
Interviews may take place continuously during the application period.
