Are you looking for the freedom that consulting assignments offer but the security that a permanent position provides?

Are you perhaps currently working as a consultant but miss regular team meetings, unit meetings, and safety rounds? Then Targeted Support might be the right place for you!

The Social Administration in Uppsala is transitioning to the new Social Services Act (SoL) and is focusing on high quality in its work. One of the department's main focuses is to promote the participation of children and families and to increase the involvement of networks.

As support in this work, Targeted Support currently consists of eight dedicated caseworkers, two team leaders, four coordinators, and one manager. Targeted Support is tasked with spreading expertise and relieving other units based on needs and demands. With us, a varied and educational workday awaits. We have good cohesion and a strong collegial exchange as the experience of each employee is extensive. The unit has a clear focus on quality work, method development, continuous follow-up of working methods, and well-being, which our team and unit meetings provide good platforms for.

As part of Targeted Support, you will have a key role where you can influence and develop how we work - your experiences and skills are important building blocks in our joint improvement work.

The Child and Youth Authority has invested in becoming an attractive employer with a focus on development, salary, and career paths in recent years. This has led to reduced staff turnover and a good work environment.
