Vacant job

Do you want to work in a social services department focused on development and quality, where you can grow in your professional role – together with engaged colleagues and close support in your daily life? In the city, the social services department is responsible for individual and family care. Our mission is to enable residents to become independent in life so that they can take an active part in society.

We are now over a year into our new organization, focusing on creating a more accessible social service based on three main areas: authority operations, interventions and services, and housing. We have high ambitions – and at the same time a strong focus on creating sustainable conditions for our employees. Here, the strength of a large social services department is combined with close collaborations, high competence, and significant participation in daily life.

Close leadership and sustainable working conditions

With us, you receive close leadership with high trust, clear working methods, and a team that values collegial support and quality in case handling. Each team has a team leader who is the operational leader in daily life and a complement to your direct manager who holds responsibility for the work environment. The team leader and manager work closely together to create security, structure, and good conditions in daily work.

We actively work to ensure our employees can combine meaningful work with balance in daily life, whether it involves leisure, recovery, or parenthood. Within the authority, there is an opportunity to work remotely when the work allows.

Your assignment

The mission of family home care is to ensure that children and young people placed outside the home have their needs met so that they can grow and develop. We work with a focus on the child, their situation, and needs, while offering care and support to caregivers, the child's custodians, and their network.

As a child caseworker within family home care, you are responsible for following up and ensuring the quality of the child's care. You work for the child's participation through child conversations as well as conversations with custodians and the child's network. The role also involves broad collaboration with other societal actors. The work places high demands on documentation as well as the ability and courage to conduct qualified assessments and investigations. A large part of the work takes place in close collaboration with family home caseworkers. With us, you have the opportunity to make a real difference for some of the most vulnerable children in our society.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are educated as a social worker and have experience working within family home care or authority operations concerning children, young people, or families. A B driver's license and good driving skills are required for the position. Experience working according to the Signs of Safety model is meritorious.

Who are you?

You are secure in your professional role and thrive in a daily life where cases are varied and where you work in a structured and legally secure manner. You provide good treatment to everyone you meet in your professional role and have the ability to create trust and participation for children, young people, and families. You can stand firm in difficult situations without losing the overall perspective. Furthermore, you enjoy collaborating closely with colleagues and see the value in working together while taking individual responsibility and driving your work forward.
