JOB DESCRIPTION

The work involves exercising authority within children and family services for ages 0-20 years. You will either work in our reception or as an investigative social worker. Case handling is done according to SoL and LVU with BBIC as the basis. We work in the operational system Lifecare.

We now need to hire a social worker for the Mottag/utredning workgroup. Our reception secretary is responsible for receiving and managing reports and applications that come in. You will work closely with our investigative social workers within Children and Family as well as our senior social workers. To thrive in the role, you need to be driven and enjoy juggling multiple tasks simultaneously. You have an eye for what needs to be done and are confident in taking the initiative to ensure that necessary tasks are completed. Since the inflow is often uneven, you need to have good stress management skills to handle peaks in a calm, efficient, and constructive manner.

In the role of investigative social worker, you will work on assessing the needs of children and young people aged 0-20 years and based on that, assign interventions and be responsible for the follow-up of outpatient interventions.

Common to both roles is that you will be an important part of contributing to new working methods related to this transition based on the new SoL that came into effect on July 1.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with a degree in social work or equivalent competence who wants to work with children and families in an environment where collaboration and shared responsibility are central. You are self-assured, structured, and able to prioritize even when the work is complex. You are attentive, unpretentious, and have a good approach when meeting both children, families, and partners.

Experience in exercising authority within child welfare is an advantage. Knowledge of BBIC, Signs of Safety, honor-related issues, and children's exposure to violence is also advantageous. You express yourself well in both speech and writing. A driver's license (B) is required. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.
