Job Responsibilities

The Reception Unit is the face of the administration. The unit employs 20 social secretaries and three senior social secretaries. We are now looking for a new social secretary as one of our colleagues moves on to new challenges.

In the role of a social secretary at the Reception Unit, you will work with appointment scheduling, emergency duty, and initial visits for individuals in need of financial support. The work involves investigating affiliation with the Social Administration, investigating and assessing the right to financial aid, and handling emergency duty for non-current cases.

The Reception Unit offers you a thorough introduction, support from engaged managers and colleagues, and the opportunity to shape your own work. It is an exciting and challenging job. At the Reception Unit, we work according to a rolling weekly schedule consisting of two weeks of initial visits, one week of emergency duty with four colleagues, and one free week. The schedule allows for recovery and planning in your work and enables you to work from home. You also have access to methodological guidance and external process guidance as support in your work.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a degree in social work and several years of experience working with financial aid. Experience in reception work is an asset.

As a person, you have the ability to understand other people's perspectives and relate to them in an empathetic manner. You act independently with a good attitude based on our vision, goals, and guidelines. The work at the Reception Unit requires you to be flexible, able to adapt to new circumstances, and see opportunities in changes. To succeed in your role as a social secretary, you need a holistic view and must promote cooperation with various actors both internally and externally.

Selection will be ongoing; we warmly welcome your application!

Conditions

For your interview, you must bring a passport/national ID and, if applicable, proof of residence permit if you have citizenship outside the EU/EEA. This is because, as an employer, we need to verify your identity and ensure that you have the right to work in Sweden.

Hisingen is Sweden's fourth largest island and an important part of Gothenburg. Here you will find excellent connections to Gothenburg city center, a wide selection of restaurants, cafes, and shops, as well as proximity to both city life and green areas.
