The new social services act gives us a clearer and more powerful mission: to be closer, more accessible, and more precise in our support to our residents.

In Hägersten-Älvsjö, we take this seriously and are building a social service that meets young people and families early, with a holistic view and with interventions based on their real needs.

Your role

As a social worker with an internal mobile assignment, you will support and relieve the area's various units based on needs. The assignments will be time-limited, where you will work with all parts of the authority's operations with a clear focus on relieving, strengthening, and creating quality. At one moment, you may support a unit with a high workload, and in the next, contribute your expertise to development work or step into a specific assignment. You work on behalf of the area manager and are supervised by the group leader at the unit you are assigned to. To focus on your cases and your handling, you are generally not involved in overarching organizational and operational meetings, such as group meetings.

You will have the opportunity to work in a changing environment where you continuously meet new working methods, target groups, and professions. The assignment means that you quickly familiarize yourself with new contexts, adapt your support according to the unit's conditions, and function as a generalist who can hold the whole together. Both internal and external collaboration is of great importance, and you are expected to contribute to creating sustainable structures to ensure early and coordinated efforts for those we are here for.

Your skills and experience

We are looking for someone who has:

• a degree in social work
• several years of current experience in authority operations within children and youth (the social services act and the care of young people act)
• very good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish
• good IT skills
• good knowledge and experience in BBIC

It is meritorious if you have:

• good knowledge and experience of the assessment instruments SAVRY and EARL
• knowledge and experience in investigating foster homes
• good knowledge and experience in Signs of Safety

The role is broad, changing, and developing and suits you who are flexible and want to work closely with the operations and make a difference where the need is greatest. You have a very good ability to work independently while having a good understanding of decision-making paths and when your work requires collaboration and cooperation. You find it easy to structure and plan your work. You are secure and stable and can handle complex and difficult cases.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal willingness, ability, and skill for the position.
