About the Position

Within the social administration, continuous development and improvement work is underway to create better conditions for a well-being staff with a focus on those we serve.

We strive for a strong community with great trust where we support each other and have fun at work! We are committed and driven by our vision of becoming Sweden's best social service!

We are now looking for a reception secretary who has experience in social services and enjoys being the first contact for our adult unit, focusing on financial assistance, at Maria Nova.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a reception secretary, you are the gateway and the outward face of Maria Nova - therefore you have a key role in the organization!

In the reception, an initial assessment of incoming applications and reports is made according to the Social Services Act and LVM. You will handle simpler cases such as one-time assistance, statements, and provide information about social services work and activities. You may also participate in evictions.

In the reception, two social workers work with a divided workload between adult services and financial assistance. The position we are looking for is a reception secretary focused on financial assistance. Here you will primarily work with financial support, and the main tasks include providing information about financial assistance, booking new appointment times, and managing urgent applications that come in.

In your role, you will closely collaborate with your reception colleague focused on adult services, which includes areas such as addiction, social psychiatry, domestic violence, and homelessness.

Your physical placement is next to Maria Nova's reception. In the reception, you will assist with the emergency phone and cover urgent matters that arise during each other's absence. You should also be able to support the reception with more complex cases.

In your role, you will also collaborate with other functions at Maria Nova.

QUALIFICATIONS

You who are applying have a degree in social work and experience in several different areas of social services.

We see that you have a very good sense of service but also the ability to be clear about setting boundaries. It is important that you enjoy meeting people and can handle individuals in crisis.

Since the positions involve handling applications and reports, it is required that you can receive them according to applicable laws and regulations regarding processing and documentation. Applications are being digitized, so it is a requirement that you are comfortable using digital tools and can teach others to use them.

Language skills in Arabic and English are meritorious.

In addition to the opportunity to work with competent and friendly colleagues and staff, we can offer you;

Vacation exchange
Salary exchange for pension
Insurance benefits
Benefit bicycle
Access to free indoor and outdoor swimming
Wellness allowance

We process applications continuously, which means that interviews and appointments may occur before the application deadline. In your application, we request a CV that outlines your previous merits. You can exclude the personal letter - instead, you will answer some selection questions when you make your digital application. We place great emphasis on personal qualities and good references.

Warm welcome to us!
