Vacant job

Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone who lives here today and in the future. Now we are looking for you who want to think big, new, and different with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Bromma District Administration offers you a workplace where your efforts can truly make a difference and contribute to the public good in a growing district. Here, active employee engagement and clear leadership are the foundation for a developing operation.

Welcome to us

Are you interested in developing together with us?

With us, you will find competent colleagues who always step up – and who know that laughter (and coffee breaks!) make the job more fun.

We are currently seeking a temporary substitute social secretary for the Child and Youth Reception Unit to cover planned parental leave.

The unit is part of the Social Services and Leisure Department, Children and Young People Area within Bromma District Administration. The area is led by a district manager and is divided into four units, each with its own unit manager. The Child and Youth Reception Unit consists of two groups with a total of 14 social secretaries, 2 group leaders, and 1 administrative assistant.

Children's participation is a central part of our work, and we have several child rights advocates responsible for safeguarding children's rights. The current unit consists of employees who have a positive attitude towards their work. We support each other and create job satisfaction even in difficult situations.

The Child and Youth Reception Unit is undergoing exciting changes where, in addition to traditional reception work and rapid investigations, we have introduced several new functions linked to the new Social Services Act. We have begun working more proactively and preventively.

The unit is part of the First Line Social Services, which is an initiative to get closer to our target groups and offer earlier interventions. The introduction of first line social services is the first step in a long-term development of Bromma's social services.
