Job Responsibilities

As an investigating social worker for Children and Family (0–18 years), with a focus on the environment, you will work on investigating the needs of children and their parents for interventions, both according to SoL and LVU. Your main task involves investigating and conducting follow-ups and reassessments of interventions. The investigative work also includes collaboration with the child's network and conducting motivational work with the family.

The work involves qualified investigative and follow-up work, characterized by a good approach, well-founded decisions, and high legal security, and entails great variation and change. We value the opinions and views of children and parents, and we work to ensure that children are involved in their investigations and follow-ups.

Qualifications

You need to have a degree in social work and be genuinely interested in meeting children and parents in difficult life situations. Having high integrity while being empathetic, being able to see the whole picture, and having a sincere desire to do your utmost to contribute to a better life for children and young people together with your colleagues are fundamental requirements for the job. Using yourself as a tool in the work means that you need to have very good communication skills and be able to express yourself well in speech and writing.

You who are applying have good collaboration skills and thrive in a work role that involves a lot of cooperation both within your own workgroup and with other organizations and authorities. You have a good ability to create and maintain relationships with children, young people, and their families, and are keen to be attentive and listen to the person you meet to create a good connection.

As a person, you are also responsible and have a good ability to structure your work, allowing you to effectively plan, organize, and prioritize your tasks. At the same time, you need to have a solution-focused approach and be adaptable to changing circumstances. To thrive in the position, we see that you are secure and stable in yourself, and that you have the ability to maintain a realistic perspective and focus on the right things even in pressured situations. We see that you should have at least 3 years of experience in social work.

It is an advantage if you have experience in public authority work within the area of Children and Family according to SoL and LVU, as well as if you have worked with public authority work in other areas of social services. Other experience in social work related to children and young people is also seen as a benefit. For the position, a B driver's license and knowledge of other languages besides Swedish and English are advantageous.
