Become a Care Manager at the Care Unit in Söderhamn!

Are you ready for a meaningful career where you can make a difference? We are looking for a dedicated and responsible care manager who wants to help shape the future for elderly and disabled citizens in our municipality.

Our main task is to investigate, decide, and follow up on assistance and interventions in accordance with the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons (LSS).

Together, we work to develop our unit and contribute to the vision and community development of Söderhamn.

What Can You Expect?

As a care manager, you are an important part of our team, where you will have the opportunity to work closely with our citizens and build relationships. Your role involves processing and investigating the need for various interventions, such as home care, security alarms, and day activities, as well as making decisions that significantly impact individuals' well-being. You will also follow up on interventions to ensure that the citizens we support receive the help they need.

You will be part of a competent and supportive team with caseworkers who socially support each other in cases. The work is done in teams of two or more employees, which means that collaboration and knowledge exchange are in focus. You will work closely with colleagues, managers, and specialists in authority operations, creating a safe and inspiring work environment.

Focus on Development and Support

To ensure the highest quality and equality in our assessments, we offer regular case supervision. We work based on IBIC (Individual Needs in Center), a needs-oriented and systematic approach that includes structured documentation, allowing us to provide our citizens with the best possible service.

Experience as a care manager or LSS caseworker is an advantage. It is also beneficial if you have experience with the Lifecare operational system and knowledge of working according to IBIC (Individual Needs in Center).

You have a good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both verbally and in writing. Since travel is part of the job, a valid driver's license (B) is required.

Personal Qualities

We are looking for a person who sees opportunities and takes initiative. You are willing to share your knowledge and experiences with colleagues and actively contribute to a positive work climate. It is important that you can plan, organize, and prioritize your work efficiently, as well as set and adhere to deadlines.

We value a holistic view and appreciate that you understand the bigger picture, your role, and how it affects the entire operation. You strive to continuously maintain high quality in your work, always with the customer in focus.
