The Position and Responsibilities

We are looking for someone who wants to work as a social worker within financial assistance and contribute to ensuring that people in Botkyrka receive the right support to achieve self-sufficiency.

With us, client contact is central, and we work with a strength-based approach where we start from the individual's resources.

As a social worker, you are an authority exerciser and make decisions based on current legislation and guidelines. You are responsible for investigating, assessing, and deciding on financial support in a legally secure and professional manner. You collaborate with colleagues within the unit and with other actors to find sustainable solutions that meet the client's needs.

Your main responsibilities are:

• investigating the right to financial assistance and making decisions according to the Social Services Act
• maintaining regular contact with clients and supporting them on their path to self-sufficiency
• collaborating with other units within social services and external actors such as the Employment Agency, the Social Insurance Agency, healthcare, and other authorities to create comprehensive solutions
• documenting and following up on cases in accordance with current procedures.

With us, you will become part of an engaged workgroup where we support each other and develop our methods together. We work closely with our partners and focus on creating long-term results for our citizens.

We Offer You

With us, you will be part of a workplace with 50 engaged colleagues distributed across three units. We work closely together and support each other in our daily work. The team includes senior social workers, social workers, and social assistants. We collaborate both within the unit and with other operations to provide the best possible support to our clients. Our work environment has been recognized with the award for Administration's Workplace 2025, reflecting our commitment to community and development. We have an inclusive culture where we strengthen cohesion through joint activities such as social gatherings and health initiatives.

We offer flexible work arrangements and apply annual working hours to facilitate the balance between work and private life. You will work in an organization that invests in digital solutions to simplify administration and free up more time for client meetings. We prioritize professional development and offer ongoing training and supervision.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who has a degree in social work and previous experience in authority exercise within social services, including handling and assessment according to the Social Services Act (SoL).

Other requirements for the position:

• Experience applying and working based on current legislation, such as the Social Services Act (SoL), in handling and decision-making.
• Experience in work that involves documentation and administration in case management as well as personal meetings with clients or other target groups.

We consider it an advantage:

• Experience working in the Lifecare case management system (formerly Procapita) for case management and documentation.
• Experience in financial assistance work, employment, and support, including handling and client contact.
• Experience applying the social insurance system in the professional role.

As a social worker within financial assistance, you need to be collaborative and work closely with both internal and external actors, such as colleagues in the team, the employment agency, educational providers, and other partners. Together, you coordinate efforts that lead the client towards self-sufficiency. You are relationship-building in meetings with clients and build trust by being respectful, professional, and accessible. This creates good conditions for investigating and assessing needs even in complex or emotionally charged situations.

You are structured and drive your cases forward by planning, prioritizing, and following up on efforts systematically. This ensures that decisions about financial support are made legally secure and efficiently. Stability in your work approach allows you to maintain focus even when the work places high demands, which gives you the ability to meet vulnerable clients with a low-arousal response. By staying committed to the task even when the situation is pressured, you create security and contribute to long-term solutions.
