Your role

You have a child rights perspective and can take the child's position and represent the child in feelings and conversations, as well as having a solution-focused approach. Since the work often involves meeting people in complex life situations, it is important that you can convey hope and meet people in a respectful manner.

The work includes custody, residence, and visitation investigations on behalf of the court, collaboration discussions, contractual matters, parenting investigations, consent and adoption matters, as well as information discussions. We have a well-functioning visitation support service that two caseworkers are responsible for.

Your competence and experience

We are looking for someone with a recognized degree in social work. You should have a good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish. It is an advantage if you have experience in qualified investigative work within family law or child and family, as well as relevant further education in various areas of family law such as Whole Child and My Parents are Divorced.

Family law work is enjoyable and stimulating but also challenging. Therefore, it is required that you are stable, meticulous, and courageous. The tasks require that you have good collaboration skills.

We will place great importance on personal suitability and what additional competence our group needs. Upon employment, a criminal record extract must be presented. The City of Stockholm works with competency-based recruitment aimed at recognizing each person's competence and thus counteracting discrimination.
