We strive for high accessibility and good treatment towards our users, partners, and each other. We encourage development work and appreciate that all employees contribute to improving our operations.

As a caseworker in disability services for children, you work with the child's best interests in focus and always from a clear child rights perspective. You meet children and young people aged 0–20 years and handle cases under both the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons (LSS) and the Social Services Act (SoL).

In the role of caseworker, you are responsible for receiving applications, conducting investigations, assessing needs, and making decisions on services according to applicable legislation. The work also includes providing information and guidance regarding the support and services available. The assignment involves close collaboration with colleagues within the district administration as well as with external actors.

• Good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing

It is an advantage if you have:

As a person, you are stable and have the ability to handle pressured situations that arise in the work. You take responsibility for your tasks, take initiative, and drive processes forward independently. You are structured and have the ability to plan, organize, and prioritize your tasks. You are flexible and can adjust tasks based on changing priorities and circumstances. You enjoy collaborating and contribute to a good work environment by having an open, accommodating, and problem-solving approach.

We will place great emphasis on personal qualities. The City of Stockholm works with competency-based recruitment aimed at recognizing each person's competence and thus counteracting discrimination.
