Do you enjoy a varied and client-focused job? Then we have the job for you!

Within the Employment and Welfare Administration in Kristianstad, we are embarking on an exciting journey of change. Our vision is clear: One administration – ready for the future!

We are developing our organization to meet future needs and create even better conditions for our citizens. From April 2026, we will work in a new organization – focusing on modern, sustainable, and legally secure welfare.

Today, around 480 dedicated employees work with us, making a difference for people at various stages of life every day. Together, we create security, participation, and opportunities.

We are now looking for more employees who want to join us on our journey of change. Are you driven, curious, and want to contribute to meaningful work? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

Your role with us

As a social worker, you are responsible, based on delegation, for legally secure processing and decisions in individual cases, as well as ensuring that established routines are followed. You meet residents with respect and professionalism and ensure that each case is processed and documented according to current legislation, routines, and guidelines. You keep yourself updated and follow the employer's policies and routines regarding employment, as well as the goals of the organization.

If necessary, you act as a co-handler in more complex cases and may also take on special assignments such as being an archive manager. Furthermore, you actively participate in development work towards the organization's goals, can hold collaboration forums, and be a mentor for candidates.

We work based on our vision “Opportunity to succeed” and our values, which are based on five concepts: Respectful, Participatory, Result-oriented, Professional, and Trustworthy. These words are the foundation of our brand and describe how the administration wants to be perceived by those we serve.

Who are we looking for?

You who are applying have a degree in social work or another higher education that the employer assesses as equivalent. We want you to have experience in public authority and processing of financial assistance. We expect you to be computer literate and to handle the Office suite. You need to be able to cycle and have a B driver's license to easily get around our municipality if needed.

As a person, you are unpretentious and good at working with other people, which means you easily listen, show empathy, and respect. We want you to uphold good ethics and sound values. Being able to follow instructions, routines, legal requirements, and policies is a prerequisite for the job.
