Vacant job

Do you have ideas for the future and are you driven by challenges? In Haninge, you will develop alongside supportive colleagues who want to make a difference today. Currently, one of the most ambitious change processes in our municipality's history is underway. We are building a new city, approximately 20 minutes from Söder. Join us on this journey.

Welcome to develop with us

Are you ready for the next step in your career? There is now an opportunity to become part of our intervention team, consisting of experienced social secretaries and a team leader.

Haninge Municipality is a forward-thinking municipality. In 2023, we were among the first municipalities to establish a first and second-line social services structure, a step in our adaptation to the future of social services and the new Social Services Act. In our operations, we meet children who need coordinated and comprehensive interventions preceded by investigations. In our work, we focus on the target group, investigating and coordinating interventions based on evidence-based and knowledge-based methods in collaboration with other societal actors.

The operation consists of four units: a children's unit, a youth unit, a unit for interventions and special functions, and a unit for foster care and contact operations. Each unit is led by a unit manager and the groups are led by team leaders. We work in a family-oriented and team-based manner for the benefit of our children and young people.

Those of us who work here are knowledgeable and engaged in our work. We care about each other and value having a good atmosphere in the groups. We want our work to be characterized by consensus, quality, and legal certainty, and we believe it is important to develop in our work.

In order to strengthen our quality and create conditions for you as a social secretary to use your competence resource-efficiently and with the best interests of children and young people in focus, we have chosen to invest in the following support functions:

• A well-established structure for regular support such as case reviews and external supervision.
• Specialist social workers with an operation-wide assignment within areas such as method support, implementation, introduction, and recurring training.
• A structured introduction plan for new employees.
• Business developers as support in our continued development with target group-oriented working methods.
• SIP coordinators as support to strengthen the quality of SIP meetings and ensure that children and young people who need SIP meetings are offered them.
• Placement coordinators as support in seeking external placement forms and handling contracts.
• Administrators with the task of relieving and supporting social secretaries.
• Extended work with risk and needs assessments to detect and counteract children being drawn into crime.
• A structure that enables remote work for those who wish and based on the operation's needs.
