We are now looking for you who want to contribute to a good working climate and a great team spirit based on the municipality's core values: citizen value, participation, openness, and joy.

We welcome your application for the position of Benefits Case Worker (Biståndshandläggare).

Your role with us

As a Benefits Case Worker, you have independent responsibility for processing, follow-up, and evaluation of measures according to the Social Services Act and/or the Support and Service Act for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) within the Care Administration. You collaborate and communicate both internally and externally. You report to the Unit Manager with whom you will have close contact.

Your tasks involve investigating individual citizens' entitlement to measures according to the Social Services Act and/or LSS. Documentation takes place in the business system Life Care. As a case worker at the unit, in addition to the usual tasks, you are expected to contribute to high quality and good legal security. The work group consists of a mix of extensive experience and new competence, with a desire to support and help colleagues.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for you who have a degree from the Social Work program, Social Care program, or another higher education/university education that the employer deems equivalent. You must have education in social law or a legal overview course. The job requires good knowledge of legislation relevant to the area, preferably the Administrative Procedure Act, the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act, and the Social Services Act. Experience of processing cases according to SoL and/or LSS is meritorious.

Since communication and documentation are part of your tasks, you must master the Swedish language in both speech and writing. You need to have good computer skills, and if you have knowledge and experience working in Life Care's case worker portal, we view this as meritorious. A B-category driver's license for manual transmission is a requirement.

As an employee, you are independent, development-oriented, and responsible. You are good at collaborating, have decision-making ability, and are skilled at seeking knowledge yourself.
