Vacant job

Social Services Administration Hisingen is part of the Social Services in Gothenburg City. We are one of four social services administrations. We work purposefully to create a better everyday life for the residents of Hisingen.

We offer support within individual and family care, social emergency services, assistance with addiction and in integration issues. We also work with leisure activities and preventive work regarding, for example, public health, urban planning, local safety work, and integration issues.

Job Responsibilities

Ung Hisingen is a unit that works with young people aged 10-25. The unit includes the functions of Municipal Responsibility for Activities (KAA), youth counselor, and field secretary. The unit also has two method supervisors and a unit manager, totaling 30 employees. We are now looking for you who want to work with KAA and Ung Extra.

Municipal Responsibility for Activities (KAA)

KAA means that the municipality, according to the Education Act (Chapter 29, Section 9), has an obligation to contact and regularly follow up with young people aged 16 to 19 who are not attending upper secondary school, or who did not achieve a high school diploma when they left. In Gothenburg, the work with KAA takes place in collaboration between the Education Administration/UBF and the Social Services Administrations/SF. You can read more about KAA at Municipal Responsibility for Activities - Gothenburg City (goteborg.se).

Since KAA has been co-organized between SF and UBF, the municipality has chosen to view KAA as part of the preventive and active social work carried out in the municipality.

SF KAA should work operationally together with case handlers from UBF, primarily with young people in the KAA target group who are further away from studies or other employment and may be at risk of becoming stuck in long-term exclusion. It is necessary to create a relationship and alliance with the young person and sometimes their parents to be able to work motivationally. Receiving support from KAA is voluntary.

If necessary, young people's life situations are mapped out based on the school dropout, protective and risk factors are identified, and the need for support for employment and/or other support is determined. The young person is then guided to existing activities for employment and/or to another actor for support within or outside social services. If necessary, KAA collaborates with these actors.

Ung Extra

Ung Extra (formerly Ung Helg) is paid internship within Gothenburg City's operations for young people aged 16 to 18. The role includes networking, maintaining employer contacts, and creating job opportunities for young people, as well as developing operations together with employers within the framework of Ung Extra. The assignment also includes recruitment and matching of young people, administration, support and guidance, leadership, and continuous follow-up, as well as advice and support conversations regarding employment, studies, and work.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a university degree of at least three years in social work. Experience working with young people, labor market measures, and good knowledge of social services processes are meritorious. As a person, you are responsible, flexible, communicative, structured, and enjoy working in collaboration with others.

We warmly welcome your application!
