Support in your work includes mentors, case supervision from the workgroup, external supervision, administrative support, senior social worker, and support from the unit manager.

Your workplace

The Social Administration is a relatively newly organized administration, meaning an administration in change.

The unit consists of both LSS case officers and assistance assessors who help each other within the group. There is also a unit manager and two senior social workers. The unit works closely with SF individual and family care as well as closely with the team from the Housing Unit.

Possibility for remote work exists by agreement, when deemed appropriate based on the needs of the business and personal circumstances. We work activity-based and sit in newly renovated fresh office landscapes at Drottninggatan 45.

It is also desirable if you have experience with IBIC and the operational system Treserva. In this position, a B driver's license is required as travel occurs in the job. The position involves collaboration with both internal and external contacts with associated documentation, which requires good Swedish in both spoken and written form.

To succeed and thrive in the role, we see that you work well with other people and relate to others in a responsive and smooth manner and have a good ability to listen, communicate, and resolve conflicts constructively. You easily adapt to changing circumstances and can quickly change your perspective and approach. You are calm, stable, and have the ability to handle pressured situations well.
