Job Responsibilities

As a social secretary within children and young people, you work with authority exercise, investigation, and follow-up of measures for children and young people aged 0–20 years and their families. Your main task is to investigate the child's situation and make legally secure assessments according to the Social Services Act and the LUV (Act for Care of Young Persons), with the child's best interests and participation in focus.

The work involves gathering information through conversations with children, guardians, and networks, as well as through cooperation with, for example, schools, healthcare, and other authorities. You are responsible for planning, conducting, and documenting investigations according to BBIC and following up that approved measures contribute to a positive and sustainable change for the child and family.

You work from a systemic perspective where the focus is on identifying the family's and network's strengths, resources, and risk factors. An important part of the work is to listen to the family's own solutions and create conditions for participation and motivation for change. The role also includes formulating assessments, decision bases, and statements, as well as contributing to individual solutions that make a difference in the lives of children and families.

You work closely with colleagues and group leaders in daily work and are expected to drive your cases forward in a structured, professional, and legally secure manner. At the same time, you actively contribute to the team's joint work through cooperation, reflection, and knowledge exchange, as well as to a good working environment and the continued development of the operations.

As an employee, you are offered several benefits, such as a fitness allowance of 3,000 SEK per year, external supervision, flexible working hours through annual working hours, and some possibility of remote work when the operations allow.

Qualifications

Formally, you need to have:

Social work degree (Socionom)
Experience in authority exercise is meritorious

We are looking for you who thrive working independently and engaged. You work in a structured manner with a good ability to plan, organize, and prioritize your work effectively, and understand what is required to drive an investigation forward. You are stable, secure, and balanced even in stressful or challenging situations. But of course, the team is there when needed and we work together. We think that you who come will enjoy collaborating with others and want to be part of our team; you are receptive and contribute to good cooperation and an open climate at the workplace.

You are also self-starting and have the ability to put yourself in other people's perspectives or situations without losing yourself in others' feelings, and understand the role as an authority person.

Personal suitability is given great weight.
