About the job

We are looking for you with experience working within social services!

Mottag 1, on the Children and Young People Department, offers a varied and meaningful job working together with children and their families. Our office is located in Hjällbo, and the reception team consists of ten social secretaries, two first-hand social secretaries, and a unit manager, which enables close supervision and methodological guidance both in groups and individually.

The Children and Young People Reception Unit 1 is characterized by broad competence, a good work climate where employees have great commitment, and where management has many years of experience. We work for the best interests of the child and have close and non-hierarchical collegial support.

We work based on the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act with Special Provisions on Care of Young People (LVU), as well as using the working methods Children's Needs in Focus (BBiC), Signs of Safety, and LÖSA!. We receive reports of concern and applications regarding children aged 0–17, meet with families, and conduct risk and safety assessments regarding the children's situations, as well as legally secure pre-assessments as a basis for whether an investigation according to the Social Services Act should be initiated or not. We also handle certain statements.

An important task is also to prevent misinformation by meeting those we serve and other professionals on their turf to create dialogue and provide correct information about social services work. We provide good service, advice, and support to those who contact social services for children and their families, and according to the new Social Services Act, guide families who wish and are receptive to support to society's assistance measures.

On the Children and Young People department, different working time innovations are being implemented. At the reception, we have been testing Smart Efficient Working Time (SEAT) for some time, which means six hours per day at the office and, if the operations allow, two hours of reflection time per day, with the aim of contributing to a more sustainable and healthy working life.

As an employee in the Social Administration Northeast, you have access to a thorough introduction, a range of training courses based on needs and areas of interest, ongoing competence development, and external supervision.
