JOB DESCRIPTION

As a case manager, you will follow up on the interventions granted by investigative social workers to children and youth aged 0-20 years. This includes both outpatient interventions and placements in the form of HVB, supported housing, SiS, and co-placements with LSS. You will follow the case, ensure that the granted intervention yields results, and actively work to increase protective factors. We strive to work according to the Signs of Safety approach.

You will also conduct preliminary assessments regarding the children whose cases you handle, but in cases of greater concern, the investigation will be handed over to an investigator while you continue to follow the intervention. The unit is working to review all routines and adapt them to the new organization. We look forward to benefiting from your experiences and insights on various issues. We formalize cooperation with the police through BoB, collaborate with the field and prevention unit for an increased shared situational awareness over Lidingö, and further develop cooperation with adult services for the youth who will need continued support after their 20th birthday. Therefore, you need to enjoy collaboration and cooperation with the aim of providing coordinated support to the residents of Lidingö.
