Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions.

We work for everyone living here today and in the future. Now we are looking for you who want to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Welcome to us

We who work in the children's units 1 and 2 have a strong commitment to the families we work with and the area we serve.

Having the opportunity to meet people from all over the world in our work is both interesting and rewarding.

We have two children's units within the area of Social Services for Children and Youth. Both units work with children aged 0-12 years, where each unit consists of a unit manager and two group leaders who together support and guide two investigation groups of 8 social workers. In the unit, we care for and support each other, and we also value our differences and varying backgrounds. Developing the operations and finding new ways of working is something we find both fun and important!

We are now looking for new colleagues for both units. We are seeking 2 social workers for the units.

We aim to meet the need for interventions at home. There is also a clear structure in the work and well-developed routines. You will have support from group leaders, unit managers, colleagues, and the area's coordinators, as well as access to external supervision in your daily work.
