Do you want to work as a social worker in the reception at Support Services in Southwest, a leading urban area with a driven staff and competent colleagues? Then this job is for you!

At Support Services in Southwest, there are currently four units focusing on children and young adults, adults with LSS, adults with SoL/reception, and psychiatry.

The four units are co-located in pleasant and spacious premises at Järnbrotts Prästväg 2. In total, about 70 social workers, nine senior social workers, and four unit managers work in the entire Southwest area. Support Services Southwest is responsible for the management of approximately 2000 support service cases.

The reception unit consists of one senior social worker and six social workers. In the reception, you will work with tasks such as attending care planning meetings, investigating according to SoL and LSS, informing about various support measures, investigating preliminary decisions, and answering the emergency phone.

The work suits you who enjoy a mix of fast-paced and more long-term processes. The assignment involves exercising authority, which requires both a sense of responsibility and humility regarding the decisions we make. The assignment may change over time if needs arise or if conditions change.

We value a good introduction and skills development, and when you start with us as a new social worker in support services, you will participate in the Competence Ladder, which is a long-term knowledge-enhancing initiative and part of your introduction. It spans five semesters, and you will attend together with colleagues from other units within the administration.
