Kungälv Municipality is looking for you to make a difference!
We need professional and motivated staff to deliver welfare services of high quality. Here, commitment and professional service go hand in hand while you help influence people's daily lives and society at large. A good workplace culture and support for your personal development are important to us. Your contribution matters!
Description
The Adult Unit is part of the combined operational area IFO within the Safety and Support sector.
IFO includes all authority exercise within social services as well as certain service parts for children and young people as well as adults.
Our goal is to ensure that our clients can be offered a clear, coordinated, and efficient process in their contact with us. As part of achieving this goal, we are located in the municipality's City Hall, which has an office solution based on an activity-based working method. This way, we can enhance efficiency and support communication and collaboration. This also includes IT solutions that promote a paperless working method.
The Adult Unit handles cases from 18 years and older. The unit employs 13 social workers (6 focusing on addiction/homelessness for ages 25 and up, 2 in reception functions, 3 with young adults, 2 field-based/outreach) and two senior social workers under the leadership of a unit manager. There is also a social administrator linked to the unit. From the beginning of the year, the Social Medical Reception with 2 counselors is also included in the unit.
Responsibilities
You will primarily work with the handling of adults based on harmful use/dependency and homelessness. Your tasks will include investigations based on reports and applications as well as follow-ups in cases with interventions and care according to the Social Services Act and the Care of Abusers Act (LVM) in certain cases.
The Adult Unit strives to work in accordance with the National Guidelines for addiction and dependency care. ASI is implemented in the unit, and we have data support via ASI-Net.
In the daily operational individual work, you will have access to method support and supervision from a senior social worker who has extensive experience in authority exercise for the relevant target group.
You will be offered a meaningful job with interesting and challenging tasks in an organization that is constantly evolving based on the needs of clients and society. You will become part of a workgroup characterized by responsibility, generosity, and high ambitions. Everyone is part of the common work environment and has a responsibility to create a pleasant workplace. We value collaboration skills as well as the ability to work independently, and we treat people in a respectful manner, often in difficult situations.
Qualifications
We are now looking for someone with a degree in social work, and it is an advantage if you have previously worked with authority exercise for the age group 21 and older.
If you have prior knowledge of our operational system Treserva and ASI, that is a plus.
You have good knowledge of the handling process and documentation. You are well-versed in the legislation that governs the work. Since the tasks involve collaboration with both internal and external contacts, we need someone who can create good collaborative relationships. Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities.
Do you want to be one of us and work with something that is among the most important and enjoyable there is? Submit your application today! Selection is ongoing.
