Refugee Coordinator at the Social Administration
Danderyds kommunStockholms län, Danderyd
The Social Administration is characterized by being a non-prestigious administration where it is easy to collaborate with all employees and where decision-making paths are short and simple.
The Adult Department is part of the Social Administration, and our most important task is to ensure that our residents receive the help and support they need. We consist of 33 employees and are led by a department head and four group leaders responsible for different areas. We are a close-knit and stable workgroup of various ages who value having fun together and believe it is important to help each other.
We are located in Mörby Centrum, 14 minutes by subway from T-Centralen. Our office has modern facilities with good technology. There are also many small rooms for us to discuss matters or receive visitors. We also work from home as it suits the work.
Thanks to the municipality's smaller size, we work closely with operations, and you have good opportunities to make a real difference through collaboration and to influence and develop the work. We place great value on a legally secure handling process and have documented and easily accessible work routines that you will follow. It is important to us to have close supervision and accessibility to your immediate supervisor. We actively work with the MI conversation method in the department and offer relevant internal and external training. Our operational system is Treserva.
We are now looking for a refugee coordinator who wants to be part of the housing and integration group where we care for each other and have fun. The group consists of a total of six people and a group leader. The housing group includes two housing secretaries and one housing coordinator. The integration group includes two integration caseworkers and one refugee coordinator.
Warm welcome with your application!
