Vacant job

In Trelleborg, we work together to build a growing, successful municipality where it is good to live. Our 61 villages and 21 urban districts are creative meeting places bubbling with life. Here, we have ambitions, share our stories, and come as we are. This openness allows us to welcome others in the same generous and curious spirit.

Welcome to join us on this journey!

The Social Services Board's mission is to work with social services and provide support so that everyone in the municipality feels safe and has equal opportunities in life. We want everyone to be able to be active and involved in society. With a focus on respecting the individual's right to determine their own life, we are responsible for three key areas: care and support, assistance for people with disabilities, and help for individuals and families. Our goal is for everyone to receive the support and care they need.

Since everything Trelleborg Municipality does is based on our core values – openness, respect, and responsibility – it is important and crucial that these values are just as natural for you as they are for us in our work.

The Workplace

The Individual and Family Care department consists of five units: the Intake and Investigation Unit, the Advice and Support Unit, the Foster Care and Family Law Unit, the Addiction and Adult Unit, and the Prevention Unit. We have a total of around 100 employees.

At the Intake and Investigation Unit, you will become part of an experienced and stable work group consisting of 22 investigating social secretaries, four social secretaries with intake functions, two safety planners, two first-level social secretaries, and one unit manager.

You will receive a structured introduction and continuous competence development in areas such as MI (Motivational Interviewing) and Signs of Safety. External and internal supervision is standard, as is accessible management support.

The municipality offers health and wellness benefits and the option to exchange holiday pay for extra days off. The workplace operates with trust-based working hours and offers the possibility to work from home for part of the time. Communication opportunities are good, and the workplace is located approximately a 10-minute walk from the bus and train station.

Job Responsibilities

The role of an Investigating Social Secretary involves investigating, deciding on, and following up on interventions in cases concerning children, young people, and their families. The work is relationship- and network-oriented. To achieve sustainable changes, you will build collaborations with the family, their network, and other important adults around the child.

Qualifications

We are looking for you with a degree in Social Work. You have experience in authority-based work within social services, preferably directed towards children and young people. Knowledge and experience of Signs of Safety and Motivational Interviewing (MI) are meritorious.

We are seeking a confident and structured social secretary who thrives in a workday that consists of both acute situations and long-term investigative work. You possess communicative and pedagogical skills, which are crucial for the role as the work largely relies on close collaboration with the child's network. To succeed in this role, you are flexible, able to prioritize, and interact with people with a professional and empathetic approach. Personal suitability is given great importance.

A valid B-class driver's license is required.

Before employment is offered, you must provide proof of your Social Work degree, a valid ID (passport or national ID card), and a certificate of good conduct (extract from the criminal record).

We will conduct rolling selections and interviews, so do not wait to submit your application.
