Stockholm – our capital 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.
The Social Administration in the City of Stockholm has an overarching and coordinating role for social services' individual and family care and the area of disabilities. Here, good conditions are created to meet residents in need of social services support. In close collaboration with the district administrations, we contribute to a modern, digital, legally secure, equal, and knowledge-based social service, and we have a strong focus on development. Within the administration, a wide range of support measures are offered to the city's residents, and the offerings change based on the needs of Stockholmers and the wishes of the district administrations. The work often takes place in close cooperation with other authorities, civil society, and the business community. The Social Administration is also responsible for the city's serving and tobacco permits and conducts supervision.

The emergency accommodation for men consists of two facilities, Grimmans Akutboende and Aspuddens Akutboende.
We are now looking for one employee for Grimman and one for Aspudden.

The operation is part of the Adult Housing Area within the Social Administration and has the main task of assisting in the process out of homelessness. The work is carried out on behalf of the districts of Stockholm and the Homelessness Area.

An emergency accommodation is a gathering place that offers an emergency solution in a critical stage of life. This means that the accommodation will house people with various problems, often when they are at their lowest in life. The length of stay is often very short.
It is a drug-tolerant accommodation, which means that you are welcome even if you are affected, but you are not allowed to drink or use drugs inside the accommodation.
We offer
To give you the best possible conditions, we offer a thorough introduction and attractive employment conditions, occupational pension, wellness allowance of 3000 SEK, and the possibility of vacation exchange.
