Stenungsund, the good community with faith in the future and development with people and nature at the center.

Stenungsund municipality is an expanding coastal municipality with approximately 28,030 inhabitants, a strong business community, residential environments close to the sea, and good communication opportunities. The municipality has a well-developed cultural and association life as well as good conditions for outdoor activities and recreation. Wholeness, openness, participation, and transparency are the municipality's guiding principles.

The municipality's vision is to reach 35,000 inhabitants by 2035. Stenungsund municipality is part of the Gothenburg region's municipal federation, which is a forum for cooperation and exchange of experiences, as well as several other inter-municipal collaborations.

The municipality is organized into a management with four sectors. The Social Services Sector includes four operations: special housing/municipal health and medical care, individual and family care, ordinary housing/personal assistance, and disability services.

Within the disability area, interventions are implemented according to the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons (LSS) and the Social Services Act (SoL) aimed at people with various disabilities. The interventions are designed to strengthen individuals' ability to actively participate in community life and to live and reside under safe conditions, with respect for self-determination and integrity. Daily activities, group homes, psychiatry, short-term housing, and various relief forms are some of the support functions. All instances in the chain contribute to qualitative and secure support for people with disabilities.

Within the social services sector, we work with optimized staffing, which means that you will be able to work in more units than where you are currently placed.

We work together, we care about each other, and we have fun at work!
