Welcome to develop with us!

We are looking for a team leader for social workers within the unit for child investigations, youth investigations, and reception.

We are seeking a team leader for social workers within the youth investigation unit. In the youth unit, we work with investigations according to SoL and LVU and follow up on interventions for youth aged 12-17 years, with families. We work with a cohesive approach so that families can have contact with the same social worker throughout the investigation as much as possible, and we always work in pairs during investigations. We develop our teams in the youth unit based on societal developments, and therefore we have a particular focus on youth at risk of criminality and young girls with mental health issues and norm-breaking behavior. Work in the youth unit is supported by BBIC, IRISK, and Signs of Safety. All teams have external supervision.

On the other line, the Child Path, we have, in addition to the youth unit, a children's unit and an intervention unit where we work targeted and follow up on placed youth in HVB, SiS, and support housing.

The Child Path has two specialist social workers who are responsible for the introduction of new employees and method development. Additionally, we have two administrative assistants who support all three groups.

We share responsibility for the whole, care for each other, and maintain a good atmosphere in the group. We want our work to be characterized by consensus, quality, and legal certainty; we believe it is important to develop in our work. All new employees receive a mentor for six months.
