Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions.

We work for everyone living here today and in the future. We are now looking for you who want to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Welcome to us

Do you want to make a real difference for young people and families in complex life situations?

We are starting a third youth unit (ages 10–20) within Children and Youth in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör.

We are now looking for social workers who want to work with qualified investigations and follow-up of interventions in a stable organization with clear structures, present leadership, and good collegial support. You will be part of the startup and help shape the working methods and collaboration in the new unit.

Here’s what our employees say:
”I feel every day that I am doing something meaningful, but it becomes most evident when I receive good feedback directly from my clients or see that it makes a difference for a child.”

We offer

Leadership that sees and supports: With us, you have managers who are present in everyday life and whom you can turn to when you need to discuss assessments, get support in difficult situations, or just need to air a thought.

You will also be offered:

• A solid introduction with the support of a mentor.
• Health allowance of 3,000 SEK/year and access to a gym in the building.
• Flexible working hours with winter and summer working hours and the possibility of vacation exchange.

Your role

As a social worker in the youth group, you will work with investigations and follow-ups according to SoL and LVU. You will meet young people and their networks in often complex situations and contribute to creating long-term solutions. You will use evidence-based methods such as iRisk, SAVRY, and ADAD.

Whether you are new to the profession or have several years of experience, you will receive the support you need through structured introduction, mentoring, an accessible manager, and a work environment that encourages dialogue and exchange of experiences.

”I can always turn to my immediate manager - we have a trusting relationship where I feel I can always ask if there is something.”
– Social worker, Children and Youth

• Degree in social work.
• Experience in conducting investigations and following up on interventions.
• Very good ability to express yourself in writing in Swedish.
• Good knowledge of relevant social legislation in the area of children and youth, such as SoL and LVU.

It is meritorious if you have:

• Experience in authority work within children and youth.
• Experience in network work within social work.
• Knowledge of assessment methods such as iRisk, EARL, SAVRY, ADAD, and Signs of Safety.

We see that you:
