Case Manager for Elderly Care Procurement Unit, Vällingby

Stockholm – our capital city of millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone living 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.

Welcome to us

The Elderly Care Procurement Unit in Vällingby is part of the administration's department for elderly, disability, and social psychiatry. We work closely with municipal providers within home care, care and nursing homes, as well as LSS (Act for Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) operations. The organization is new and consists of two units working with the same approach and a shared responsibility for the entire department's mission. Collaboration and support between units are a natural part of the work. Our workplace is characterized by participation, development, and close collaboration where we help each other create a legally secure and high-quality operation.

Today, 27 case managers work with us, investigating needs, making decisions, and following up on measures according to the Social Services Act for people over 65. The procurement units are led by two unit managers, and within the units, there are also team leaders, case managers with special assignments as mentors/method developers, business controllers, transport service case managers, and administrative staff.

We offer you

As an employee at one of our elderly care procurement units, you are offered a workplace that values professionalism and legal security highly. You have the opportunity for flexible hours and wellness benefits. It is easy to find us as we are located in the district's administration building right near the metro station at Hässelby Torg. Our premises were newly renovated last summer, and we share offices, which creates extra closeness for support and guidance from colleagues.

Together, we create a joyful work environment while supporting each other and sharing our knowledge and experiences.
