Vacant job

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

The Skärholmen District Administration is one of Stockholm City's 11 district administrations and covers the districts of Bredäng, Sätra, Skärholmen, and Vårberg. More than 1,000 employees work here for our 38,000 residents. We offer a municipal service we are proud of, characterized by fantastic diversity. Welcome with your unique contribution!

Welcome to us

The Unit for Economic Assistance targets adult individuals, aged 18 and older, living in the Skärholmen district area who cannot meet their basic economic needs through their own resources. The mission is to release and develop people's own resources to become self-sufficient and lead an independent life with equality in living conditions and active participation in society. Investigation, assessment, and decisions are based on the city-wide assessment tools Initial Assessment (IB) and Prerequisites for Work (FIA). These tools are designed to involve the individual in the change plan and the implementation of measures. We consistently use Motivational Interviewing (MI) methodology and have an MI-oriented approach in our motivational work with clients.

The unit's staff is divided into three teams. A reception team handling all new cases, and two investigation teams focused on self-sufficiency through work, studies, or disability pension, or on investigating clients living in alternative housing solutions with other forms of social-medical issues.

We offer

A good introduction together with a mentor at the workplace. A varied job where you will work with all target groups of social services. A lovely team with competent staff, good atmosphere, lots of laughter, and an open environment. Meaningful work where you can make a difference!

We also offer flexible working hours, the possibility of holiday exchange, wellness allowance, winter and summer working hours, and a favorable occupational pension.
