Welcome to Aneby Municipality

Aneby Municipality is a values-driven employer characterized by openness, development, and responsibility. We strive to be an attractive workplace and a role model in the public sector, where engagement and pride permeate the organization.

With us, we work together to create safety, quality, and sustainable development for residents, users, students, and employees. Through trust, participation, and continuous learning, we build a culture where everyone contributes to realizing the municipality's mission, today and for the future.

In the Authority Unit, three teams work closely together; children and youth, adults, and assistance, in modern, safe, and bright premises in the heart of Aneby. Here, there is a culture where we support each other, share knowledge, and actively contribute to the development of the organization. We offer flexible working hours, the possibility of remote work, wellness benefits, external supervision, and a pleasant working environment.

To strengthen our work with children and youth, we are now looking for a Senior Social Worker who wants to help develop the organization.

About the role of Senior Social Worker

The role of Senior Social Worker involves a leadership responsibility for the reception and investigation group, while you also work with investigations and follow-ups according to SoL and LVU. You will be part of a small and close-knit group with four investigators and a reception secretary, where the focus is on a good working environment, stability, and continuous development. The team also includes foster care secretaries and placement monitors with whom you will collaborate closely.

With us, you work in a team with strong cohesion and well-established working methods. You will receive support from both the unit manager, colleagues, and external supervisors. Our work is characterized by professionalism, good treatment, and a clear child and family focus. We place great importance on creating participation, quality, and sustainable solutions for the children and youth we encounter.

Right now, we are in the midst of an exciting development effort related to the transition to a more knowledge-based, accessible, and preventive social service. We actively work with SSPF collaboration, our school social team, and the new working method Family Focus, as well as developing “A Path In,” which is a common reception function for the entire social service.
