Foster Care Secretary to Sundbyberg Municipality

Are you a trained social worker with experience working with children and youth within social services? Do you want a meaningful role where you can use your skills to create stability and security for children in need of support? We are now looking for an engaged and experienced foster care secretary who wants to be part of our team.

The Foster Care Unit in Sundbyberg Municipality works with foster care placed children and youth as well as unaccompanied refugee children. The group consists of ten employees working as foster care secretaries or child caseworkers.

We are a collaborative organization that works cross-professionally and takes the user's own reality as a starting point. In our ongoing development work together with our open care, we have focused on network work and interaction observations. Our values are permeated by a user perspective and a child perspective. We work from a systems theory foundation. The unit is led by a unit manager and group leader.

About the Position

As a foster care secretary, you will be responsible for recruiting and investigating new foster homes, contact persons, and contact families. You will support them throughout the assignment, offering guidance and ensuring they have the right conditions to succeed. The work is carried out in close collaboration with child caseworkers, and together you will follow up on the child's situation to ensure a safe and stable environment around the child. You will play a central role in collaborating with other authorities and stakeholders and will also be responsible for contracts, financial matters, and other administrative duties related to the assignment.

You will be part of an experienced and supportive team. You will also work with colleagues in the emergency home and family pool in the Northwest. Within the pool, we collaborate on the recruitment and training of foster homes.

We also have two placement secretaries responsible for purchasing external care and contract writing for all children and youth.
