Social Secretary for Individual and Family Care in Kungsör

As a social secretary with us, you will be the driving force that helps people strengthen themselves, grow, and find new paths forward!

Individual and Family Care is one of three areas within the Social Services Administration. Here, we work actively for a close and well-functioning collaboration – both within our own operations and together with our various cooperation partners. The area is divided into two units responsible for authority exercises and supportive measures. One focuses on children, young people, adults, and their families, while the other targets individuals receiving financial support.

The Support and Income Unit consists of both authority exercises and service delivery. We investigate and assess the right to financial assistance according to the Social Services Act and also conduct and coordinate the municipality's labor market work based on internal and external assignments. The goal is to guide people towards self-sufficiency and an independent life through motivational work and supportive measures. We have good collaboration, close support from management, and offer external supervision in addition to other benefits such as flexible working hours, wellness allowance, and free entry to Kungsör Swimming Pool.

Welcome to a wonderful team that promotes learning and competence development!
