Vacant job

Do you have ideas for the future and are you driven by challenges? In Haninge, you will develop alongside supportive colleagues who want to make a difference today. Right now, one of the most ambitious transformation efforts in our municipality's history is underway. We are building a new city, about 20 minutes from Söder. Join us on our journey.

Welcome to join our exciting development journey!

In our adaptation for the future social services, we have now introduced a second-line social service with a focus on children.

In this operation, we meet children who need coordinated and extensive interventions that are preceded by applications and investigations – assistance decisions.

The operation consists of groups within investigations for children and youth, an intervention group, and foster care/contact activities. Each group is led by a unit manager, and the operation as a whole is managed by an area manager. In the investigation groups, we work family- and target group-oriented and based on evidence and knowledge-based methods.

The main responsibility of foster care is for the children and youth who are placed in foster homes by Haninge municipality. The goal of the operation is to ensure that the children/youth have the conditions for favorable development. To enable this, we work in teams with the children's best interests in focus.

We who work here are knowledgeable and engaged in our work and care for each other and maintain a good atmosphere in the group. We want our work to be characterized by consensus, quality, and legal certainty, and we think it is important to develop in our work. Putting the children's best interests first is a guiding principle for us.
