Your Role

You will be responsible for conducting quality reviews of social services in the city for people with disabilities, including social psychiatry.

The review work should contribute to good and equivalent quality in the city's social service operations and serves as a complement to other quality follow-ups. The quality reviews are based on the National Board of Health and Welfare's definition of good quality and include a focus on user perspective and legal security. Legislation and the city's guidelines govern your work. The assignment involves planning and conducting the entire review process. This includes, among other things, examining whether needs and living conditions are met through interventions and how the individual's right to self-determination and participation is ensured. The review results are then fed back to the reviewed operations. To contribute to the greatest possible development, it is important that the review is conducted in close collaboration with the district administrations.

The role places high demands on integrity and the ability to analyze issues from different perspectives. To succeed and thrive in the role, drive, curiosity, and openness are required, as well as a good ability and willingness to collaborate with others.

• compiling results in reports
• feeding back results to the reviewed operations
• spreading results and good examples, e.g., through conferences and via competence development initiatives
• participating in various activities that contribute to learning and development in the city's social services.
