Do you want to support young adults?

We are now looking for two temporary social workers to cover parental leave for our 18 to 24 unit – a workplace where we combine investigative work with a genuine commitment to the development of young adults.

About the role and your tasks

As a social worker, you will work with investigations and follow-ups of interventions according to SoL, LVU, and LVM. You will meet young adults with complex needs arising from psychosocial problems, harmful use and addiction, as well as criminality. We also work with individuals who are in acute homelessness and those in need of protection. The work includes assessing the right to assistance, planning together with the young person, and collaborating with internal and external actors to create the best possible conditions for change. The work is independent but never lonely – you will receive continuous support from colleagues and your manager. With us, you will have the opportunity to develop in your professional role and make a real difference for the people we meet. We participate in the professional journey of harmful use and addiction. Documentation is done in Lifecare.

We are looking for you

• You have a degree in social work.
• You have the ability to work in a structured and independent manner and prioritize in a day with varying and sometimes urgent cases.
• Experience in public authority work is an advantage.
• Training in MI, ASI, or UngDOK is an advantage, as well as familiarity with documenting in Lifecare, which will facilitate your entry into the work.

We are looking for a colleague who meets young adults with respect and attentiveness and has good analytical skills.

About the unit

The 18 to 24 unit works to provide young adults with the support they need to live an independent life based on their own conditions. We have gathered various competencies focusing on assistance investigations, support and treatment interventions, financial assistance, and labor market issues. Through a holistic approach and close collaboration, we strive to provide the right support at the right time. You will become part of a unit that values collaboration, knowledge exchange, and an open work climate. We offer a solid introduction and continuous support so you can focus on your mission. We are currently looking for a new colleague for the investigation team of the 18 to 24 unit, which consists of six social workers.
