Vacant job

In Knivsta, the spirit of the future is palpable. The location between Stockholm and Uppsala, just a stone's throw from Arlanda, is attractive, and Knivsta is growing rapidly. Every day, we actively build a sustainable community with proximity to both the city and serene nature. Do you want to work in an innovative future municipality where you can develop and make a difference? And do you share our common values of participation, engagement, and clarity?

Welcome to us!

We are now looking for a team leader for the advice and support unit. The position involves a shared role with 50% as a team leader and 50% as a family therapist.

At the Advice and Support unit, 18 family therapists and one unit manager work together. We engage in support conversations, guidance, and therapeutic work. The work includes everything from general preventive measures to intensive home-based treatment. We are also responsible for family law mediation conversations.

The tasks at the Advice and Support unit are very varied, and the needs of those seeking support from us differ greatly. This requires a high degree of flexibility, and one must be able to work both independently and collaboratively with colleagues and partners. The work takes place both in our meeting facilities and in clients' home environments, often in collaboration with schools, student health services, healthcare providers, police, and other municipal units.

There are great opportunities within the unit to help develop new working methods. As the needs of our citizens are changing, we need to stay updated and seek out areas for development while preserving what works. In recent years, for example, the unit has developed a working method to promote school attendance in collaboration with schools and student health services, we have started an outreach group targeting youth to increase safety and identify needs at an early stage, and we have developed the Family Team initiative in collaboration with the municipality's housing support, aimed at parents with cognitive impairments.
