Job Responsibilities

Do you want to make a difference!

For us, everything starts with the resident, based on their needs and conditions, as we adapt our work to meet our clients/families where they are and when the need arises. Our operations are flexible and strive for high accessibility, both regarding working hours and interventions. This will involve evening and weekend work.

We are currently developing a position that involves working part-time as an SSPF Coordinator and part-time as a Preventive Worker in Älvkarleby Municipality.

We are looking for you who want to work in a shared role as an SSPF Coordinator and in preventive work.

SSPF is a collaboration model between schools, social services, police, and leisure services. Its purpose is to identify and coordinate support early for children and young people at risk of developing criminality, harmful use, addiction, or other social issues. The work focuses primarily on young people in the early risk zone, before problems become serious or lead to extensive authority interventions.

Working as an SSPF Coordinator involves regular consultation between social services and police to assess which young people are a concern and categorize them based on risk level in a so-called "concern cylinder." Coordination includes inviting relevant actors, guardians, and sometimes the young person to meetings, as well as creating action plans for the individual. The role also involves convening the working group, leading meetings, and taking minutes. The function is also responsible for participating in steering group meetings and reporting work progress to the steering group.

As a Preventive Worker, you work to strengthen the health, security, and living conditions of children, young people, and families through outreach and preventive work. The role involves building relationships with young people and their networks, collaborating with various actors, and planning and implementing activities, interventions, and projects for early support and increased security.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a degree in Social Work, Behavioral Science, Social Pedagogy, or another education that the employer deems equivalent.

You work relationally, solution-focused, and structured, with good ability to plan, execute, and take responsibility for your work. You are confident, professional, flexible, and can work both independently and in collaboration. An extract from the criminal record and suspicion register is required for the position.
