The Outpatient Care Unit is part of the Individual and Family Care within the Social Services Administration. It offers both need-assessed and preventive interventions for children, young people, families, and adults. Using a systemic theoretical approach, we focus on resources and relationships to strengthen what is already working in an individual's life. Our unit consists of a dedicated team of family therapists, adult therapists, counselors, treatment assistants, and network leaders.

Job Description

Within Individual and Family Care, we have close access to both colleagues and managers. Managers collaborate across unit boundaries, which gives us good conditions for finding the best solutions for our citizens and clients. At our workplace, we work without hierarchy and learn from each other.

We currently have a need for treatment assistants. In the role of a treatment assistant within Individual and Family Care at Ekerö Municipality, you will work based on assignments from all units within Individual and Family Care.

• supporting families and individuals in their homes
• conducting home visits
• assisting with placements of children/young people and adults
• motivating for change
• supporting contact between placed children and biological parents
• being part of safety planning
• supporting individuals in their contact with other societal authorities

You will be part of the Outpatient Care Unit, and the unit manager of the Outpatient Care Unit is your direct supervisor, who also leads and distributes the work together with the team leader.

Travel throughout Sweden is included in the job duties. Administrative work is part of the role, so good written skills are necessary. Scheduled working hours will apply.

In Ekerö Municipality, compared to other municipalities, we have a relatively low inflow of cases, which gives us time for both reflection and development. Here, we have the time to work through cases thoroughly and are constantly seeking new ways to reach our citizens and develop together with them.

We have sound finances, which provides greater opportunities for good solutions for clients. This also gives us the opportunity to take good care of our employees; we offer, among other things, extra days off around holidays and half-days before public holidays. At our workplace, you can also exchange holiday pay for additional vacation days.

We offer good career opportunities for those who want to grow and develop in their professional roles!
