Vacant job

Every day, approximately 1800 people go to work at Östhammar Municipality to deliver welfare and development so that our local community can continue to be safe and attractive. We do this together, with commitment, responsibility, and openness. We are proud of it.

The Adult and LSS unit is looking for a new colleague who will work with harmful use and dependency as well as violence in close relationships. The workplace is in Östhammar, but meetings and home visits occur throughout the municipality, and meetings at other locations outside the municipality may occur. The unit also employs caseworkers in LSS, social psychiatry, transport services, national transport services, and fee administration, as well as investigation administrators, contact secretaries, support persons, specialist caseworkers, and unit managers.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

In the position of caseworker for harmful use and dependency as well as violence in close relationships, you primarily work with the investigation and assessment of applications and reports. You also work with the follow-up of ongoing interventions for individuals with dependency issues related to alcohol, drugs, and/or gambling. Assessments are made based on the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act on the Care of Abusers in certain cases (LVM). You meet individuals who have been subjected to violence in close relationships and conduct risk assessments and investigate the need for interventions based on applications. Assessments are made based on SoL.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with a degree in social work, behavioral science education, or other education deemed suitable by the employer. You should be well acquainted with the case management requirements and the legislation governing the operations. Previous experience working with harmful use and dependency as well as working with violence in close relationships is desirable, as is training in MI, ASI, and FREDA-related issues. Experience with the operational system Cambio Viva is considered an advantage. We also expect that you have good computer skills.

Since the work involves many contact points, it is important that you have the ability to build and maintain good relationships. Skills such as communication, accountability, and unpretentious collaboration are important to us, as well as a good approach.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability - you need to be able to work independently, take responsibility, be flexible in work and thought, be solution-focused, and have the ability to collaborate. Additionally, references from your most recent employer are of significant importance.

Please note that if you are offered a position, you may need to provide an extract from the criminal record and suspicion register.
