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

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

Welcome to us

We who work in the youth units have a strong commitment to the families we work with and to the area we serve.

Having the opportunity to meet people from all over the world in our work is both interesting and rewarding!

We are three youth units that, together with two children’s units, the family care unit, and the internal support unit, make up the area of Social Services for Children and Youth. Each youth unit consists of a unit manager, two team leaders, and two investigation groups of about six social workers. The internal support unit assists social workers through administrators, SIG coordinators/social workers with the police, school coordinators, and other coordinators.

We are now looking for four new colleagues for our youth units. The positions are permanent.

We offer an exciting job together with knowledgeable colleagues. Here you will find well-developed routines and a clear structure in the work. With us, you will have the chance to work on change initiatives in families and develop yourself. You will receive support from colleagues, team leaders, unit managers, area coordinators, and all our various support functions as well as external supervision. We care for and support each other, and we also value our differences and varied backgrounds.

Developing the organization and finding new ways of working is something we find both fun and important! As an employer, the City of Stockholm offers benefits related to health, quality of life, and security.
