Do you want to make a difference for children and families?

We are seeking a driven and dedicated social worker who wants to contribute to creating long-term, sustainable solutions for children and their families. In Härryda, you will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment where your work truly makes a difference every day.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As an investigative social worker, you work to ensure that children and their families receive the support they need to thrive and develop.

At the same time, you apply the Signs of Safety approach, which strengthens families' own resources and creates solutions together with them.

In the role of investigative social worker, you must be analytical, able to handle complex cases, and be responsive to the needs of children and families. The work requires good legal competence, the ability to make well-founded decisions, as well as flexibility and resilience in a changing and often pressured work environment.

Your ability to build good relationships and work together with others is central to achieving success in the role.
