Investigator – Villa Lindö Investigation & Services AB, Kalmar

Casator Care AB

Safe and secure care, treatment, rehabilitation, accommodation with special services (SoL) and investigation.

Casator Care is a smaller healthcare group with several operations located in Kalmar and Ålem. Our operations work to strengthen and promote children's situations and relationships with their relatives, focusing on participation, engagement, and collaboration between children, parents, and professionals.

At Villa Lindö Investigation & Services, we work on behalf of the social services with children aged 0–16 years, their parents, and prospective parents. In our investigation and emergency unit, we assess children's needs and parents' abilities from a holistic perspective, with the child's needs at the center (BBIC). We receive families with varying backgrounds and needs. The work is carried out in interdisciplinary teams consisting of social workers, behavioral scientists, psychologists, and psychiatrists.

The investigations follow BBIC's investigation structure with elements of Signs of Safety and are based on interaction observations between parents and children. We have a psychologist in the organization who ensures the quality of the investigation work and contributes with consultation, supervision, and psychological assessments/investigations.

With us, you will have a meaningful, developing, and varied job in an engaged workgroup where quality, professionalism, and warmth are central.
