Unit for Social Services and Disability Policy, Ministry of Social Affairs

Do you enjoy varied and interesting tasks that require you to combine expertise with a holistic understanding? Do you want to work on issues related to financial assistance within the framework of a comprehensive grant reform? Then this position may be of interest to you. We are now looking for an administrator responsible for issues related to financial assistance for the Unit for Social Services and Disability Policy.

Your workday. Sweden's tomorrow.

The unit works with social service issues within individual and family care as well as care for the elderly and persons with disabilities. The unit is also responsible for coordinating child rights policy, disability policy, and certain social insurance benefits.

For the current position, the primary focus is on working with issues related to financial assistance and the implementation of the government's grant reform, including activity requirements and benefit ceilings. However, other issues within the group's area of responsibility may also arise, such as domestic violence, homelessness, and substance abuse and dependency.

The tasks are varied and include everything from drafting government assignments, committee directives, and proposals for bills, to analyzing and compiling materials for the government's positions within the unit's areas of responsibility, as well as ongoing issues such as questions and interpellations from the parliament and coordination of unit-wide processes. You may represent Sweden in various international processes and contexts. However, the area and tasks may change over time.
