The Hässelby-Vällingby District Administration is located in western Stockholm, close to beautiful natural areas and good communications. We are about 1,700 proud and dedicated employees who provide high-quality service to the residents of the district every day. Our work environment is characterized by collaboration, courage, and participation. Our strength lies in the diversity among our residents, which is also reflected in our staff. Together we make a difference!

Welcome to us

Together we create an accessible and knowledge-based social service that is based on the needs of the residents.

To work more closely with our clients and build trust, we continuously develop our working methods and approaches.

The placement unit works with children and young people aged 0-21 who are placed outside their homes. From January 2025, the unit will consist of a unit manager and 21 employees divided into three groups, each with its own group leader. Two of the groups work with children placed in foster homes, while the third newly formed group, which you will belong to, works with children and young people placed outside their homes in other care forms such as HVB homes, supported housing, and treatment families.

We are now looking for a social worker. Do you want to help develop our operations to provide the best conditions for children and young people placed outside their homes – apply to us!

You are curious, want to develop and learn new things to make a difference. You will thrive with us if you enjoy a varied job in a changing environment and are driven by the belief that every child should have a good upbringing, feel safe, and have hope for the future. As a person, you are stable and appreciate collaborating with colleagues but are also self-driven when required. Furthermore, you are structured, can see the big picture, and have good collaboration skills as much of the work is done in cooperation with internal and external actors. For you, it is important to always keep the child's best interests in focus, and you place great emphasis on collaboration and alliance-building, both with the children and young people you work with, their networks, and other partners.

We place great importance on your personal suitability. Welcome with your application! The City of Stockholm works with competence-based recruitment aimed at recognizing each person's competence and thereby counteracting discrimination.
