Social Administration Nordost is looking for staff for preventive parental support

Social Administration Nordost works to provide residents in northeastern Gothenburg with equivalent and effective welfare, enabling them to live safe and independent lives. The administration provides support to individuals and families according to the Social Services Act. We also offer activities and meeting places that can provide children and young people with a meaningful leisure time. In addition, the administration actively works with crisis support, safety issues, community life, public health, and contacts with residents and civil society.

Welcome to a vibrant administration in a dynamic urban area - here we work for community and openness with a focus on those we are here for!

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The Unit for Collaboration and Early Interventions in Social Administration Nordost is now seeking a new employee to work with preventive parental support. The unit consists of a unit manager and 14 employees who work in various ways with parental support interventions within the framework of a family-centered approach.

You should have experience and competence in working with both expectant parents and parents with children aged 0-6 years; the age range may also include parents with older children. You will primarily be based at the Family Center in Bergsjön, but the work will also involve developing new methods to reach more parents in the area outside the walls of the family center.

The work involves having advisory and supportive conversations with parents, guiding families to other services, conducting parenting courses (such as ABC and the Safety Circle), and working outreach in the area. In the unit, we work with non-assistance-based interventions. To improve the upbringing conditions for children, you will contribute to strengthening the relationships between children and parents.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who is a social worker or has another higher education degree that the employer deems relevant. We prefer that you have experience and knowledge of social services work with children and families. You should have a systemic perspective on children, families, and the networks surrounding the child. It is advantageous if you have further education in systemic family work or other training in the field of children and families. It is also beneficial if you are a trained course leader in ABC parenting meetings and/or the Safety Circle, as these are methods we already work with. Familiarity with the Nordost urban area is also a merit.

Many actors may be involved in working with parents and families, so we place great importance on your ability to collaborate both internally and externally. By being interested and creating understanding for others, you contribute to a respectful work climate. You listen to others and are receptive to changing your approach, and you try to see solutions instead of obstacles. You place the user's perspective at the center and have an open and positive attitude.

Selection and interviews will take place continuously. If this sounds interesting to you, you are warmly welcome to submit your application today!
