Within the entire Social Services in Degerfors, an exciting transformation work is underway to meet the need for a more preventive, accessible, and knowledge-based Social Services when the new Social Services Act comes into force on July 1, 2025. Within IFO Children and Youth, this work has progressed significantly together with our collaboration partners, such as all staff in preschools, schools, the police, health and medical care, and parts of civil society, where we are all now being trained in the collaboration model Backa barnet. Backa barnet is a common model to ensure children's rights, to early identify children's needs, and to provide coordinated support. Ensuring every child's right to the best possible start in life is our most important task. We are currently recruiting 4 new employees. Do you want to be part of this development work, where Degerfors is one of the few municipalities in Sweden at the forefront of this collaboration model? Apply to us!

JOB DESCRIPTION
IFO Children and Youth is expanding and developing in preparation for the new Social Services Act!
IFO Children and Family is divided into Reception, Investigation, Child Handlers, and Foster Home Units, as well as Open Care. IFO also includes financial support, assistance, and adult handlers (domestic violence and substance abuse). It is a fun and engaged group, and a variety of collaborative projects are ongoing.
Are you a person with good social skills and have experience in treatment or supervision? Do you want to be part of a team that is passionate about helping vulnerable children and driven to develop foster care? We are now expanding our foster home unit and are looking for another driven and committed foster care secretary who wants to join us on our exciting development journey!
The job includes recruiting, investigating, and supervising foster homes, contact families, and contact persons. Matching an intervention to a child's needs is a central role in the foster care secretary's work. We work based on the three-part parenthood; Social Services, foster homes, and parents, where the child's perspective is the hub of everything. In your work, you will work closely with the child's social worker to ensure that the placed child receives good care and development in their foster home. Striving for good quality within foster care is an obvious part of your daily work. As a foster care secretary, you will be part of the children and youth group at IFO. You will also be part of various development projects as we constantly review ourselves to ensure qualitative foster care.
As the job requires travel, a B driver's license is required. Work during evenings and weekends may occur.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for someone who has the ability to motivate, create engagement, and participation. You have good communication and collaboration skills and can maintain good relationships with both colleagues and external and internal partners.
You have a strong interest in quality, development, and improvement issues. You feel confident working independently but also as part of a team. You can document and know the laws that govern our field of work. To thrive and succeed in the role, you need to have the drive and commitment to create good conditions for foster care together with your colleagues. As a person, you are meticulous, independent, and able to handle when conditions and planning change in your work. Since the work involves many contacts, both internally and externally, you need to have very good collaboration skills, be outgoing and positive. You should be able to express yourself easily in both speech and writing.
Interviews will be conducted continuously during the advertising period. It is an advantage if you have a degree in social work with experience in social work with children and families. Previous experience in foster care work/foster care consultant, good documentation skills, and good knowledge of the social services' mission and current legislation are advantageous. Experience with BBIC and relevant further education, such as foster home interviews according to Nya Kälvesten, is also beneficial. In the selection process, we will place great emphasis on personal suitability.
