Here, you will be part of a competent team that offers flexibility, development, and a workplace in central Uppsala.

The Care Committee's authority is responsible for providing services to individuals with disabilities who need support in their daily lives. The authority is divided into eight units that work targeted towards different target groups. We have case officers, team leaders, unit managers, and various support functions working with us. We also collaborate closely with the Elderly Committee's authority, which is part of the same administration.

We are now looking for a case officer for the Social Psychiatry Housing unit. The position is a 6-month temporary contract.

Our workplace is located in the heart of central Uppsala in the city hall. Here, we work in bright, fresh premises and choose our workspace based on the tasks we need to perform.

All employees in Uppsala Municipality are offered 3000 SEK per year in wellness benefits.

Job Description

Our target group is individuals over 18 years old with mental or neuropsychiatric disabilities. We primarily work with various types of housing interventions for these individuals.

The work involves providing information as well as investigating, assessing, and making decisions about interventions according to both the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons (LSS). Another important part is to follow up on decisions to ensure that the support works as it should.

The role includes collaboration both internally and externally with providers and other principal authorities. Documentation, individual meetings, and care planning are also important parts of the work.

We strive to be transparent towards users and to provide good service while ensuring legally secure and efficient case management. Therefore, we continuously work on both personal and organizational development. With us, you will have the opportunity to actively contribute to that development.

It is advantageous if you have knowledge of IBIC (Individual Needs in Center), training in MI (Motivational Interviewing), and experience working as a case officer or exercising authority for people with disabilities. It is also a plus if you have worked in the Lifecare operational system and have good documentation skills.

As a person, you adapt quickly to changes and see opportunities in new circumstances. You collaborate well with others, are attentive in meetings with people, and handle communication and conflicts constructively.
