Are you a social worker or a social work student looking for a meaningful summer job where you work with authority exercise in connection with hospital discharge? Do you want to contribute to creating safe and well-planned interventions for adults, primarily the elderly? Then this could be the right opportunity for you!

We at the authority department within the Health, Care, and Social Services Administration are now looking for summer substitute social workers for our unit SVU (collaboration at discharge)/Short-term.

We offer you:

• A stimulating and meaningful work environment where your contribution truly makes a difference
• The opportunity to develop both professionally and personally in a positive and supportive work environment
• A place where you can contribute to the welfare of society and where your work is appreciated

Job Responsibilities

As a summer substitute social worker in our care planning team, you will be responsible, together with your colleagues, for authority exercise according to the Social Services Act (SoL) in connection with discharge from inpatient care and for follow-up of short-term decisions. The assignment includes investigating individual needs, making well-founded decisions, and planning interventions that ensure a safe and functioning care and support situation after hospital stays or short-term accommodation.

The work encompasses the entire process from needs assessment and decision to care planning and documentation in accordance with applicable legislation and guidelines. You will work both independently and in close collaboration with the team and cooperate with other professional groups within health care, relatives, and external actors.

We work both on-site at the office and travel around the city by bike or public transport to meet the target group where they are located.

It is meritorious if you:
