Description

Social Worker for the Social Services, Support and Care Unit

The Support and Care Unit is part of Safety and Support within Individual and Family Care.

In the unit, we handle interventions according to the Social Services Act (SoL). Our unit consists of 18 experienced caseworkers with great commitment and high competence in the field.

The unit is currently led by a senior social worker and a unit manager. We will expand with another senior social worker in the spring. We are looking for a successor for our current colleague who has been employed in this role.

In your role, you will receive support from experienced and engaged colleagues as well as a present management that supports you in your work.

Do you want the opportunity to grow and develop while having a meaningful, interesting, and challenging job? Then this could be a position for you!

Responsibilities

• Investigate and handle cases according to SoL.
• Assess needs and make decisions about interventions.
• Provide support and guidance to individuals/relatives/representatives.
• Collaborate with other authorities and actors.
• Document and follow up on cases.

With the new Social Services Act coming into effect, you will work with colleagues to offer a social service that is more preventive, accessible, and knowledge-based. In your role, you will be an important part of implementing and adapting our routines and working methods to ensure that we meet the new requirements and guidelines in line with the law's intentions.

Qualifications

• Good knowledge of SoL and other relevant legislation.
• Ability to work independently and in teams.

We are looking for you who have a degree from the social work program or other education that is considered equivalent. You have experience in authority exercise and good knowledge of applicable legislation and the mission of social services.

Our mission is to meet the individual's needs for interventions aimed at contributing to increased independence based on the individual's conditions. We place great emphasis on the individual's participation. We use the investigation method IBIC.

As a person, you are thorough and independent and can easily handle when conditions and planning change in your work. You have the ability to manage several complex investigations simultaneously, and your flexibility allows you to quickly prioritize your work when the situation requires it. Since the work involves many contacts, both internally and externally, you should have good collaboration skills, be outgoing and positive. You should have a good ability to express yourself in speech and writing.

Great importance is placed on personal qualities.
