Vacant job

Do you want a job where you contribute to strengthening the rights of women and children? Do you also want to make a positive difference for women and children exposed to violence? Then you could be our new colleague!

Who are we?

The Social Services in Norrköping Municipality focus on the individual's needs, always with the best interests of the child in mind. It should be easy to get help. Our support and treatment interventions are of high quality and based on legally secure assessments. We want to find solutions close to the individual and contribute to positive change for them. Together, we want to create security and good social services for those living in Norrköping.

Frideborg is part of the Social Services and works with domestic violence. Frideborg currently consists of a sheltered accommodation for women and their children, as well as an open activity with a treatment component where we offer counseling to people who are or have been living with domestic violence.

The position we are recruiting for is located at the sheltered accommodation.

At the unit, we offer support and emergency accommodation for women and children exposed to violence. The support is characterized by the acute situation the woman and children are in. The unit works from a clear children's rights perspective, and we have clear goals and methods for the operations, as well as working with systematic follow-up.

There are currently six employees at the accommodation, and we have close cooperation with the other parts of Frideborg, the Social Services' authority function, and the association Kvinnojouren.

Your responsibilities

As an employee, you will primarily be responsible for providing support to the adults placed at the accommodation. The support consists of both counseling, practical support, contact with authorities, educational activities, and support in the parental role. You base your work on knowledge of reactions to violence exposure and the needs that may arise from vulnerability and crisis. You also provide support to children staying at the accommodation.

Since the work is located at an accommodation, your duties also include practical tasks required for the unit to function well.

You work with authority collaboration and support for permanent housing.

We work with key person assignments based on implementation plans made together with the resident. At the accommodation, we work according to clear structures and document continuously.

You will become part of a well-functioning work group with good competencies. The group has a strong commitment to creating the best possible conditions for the women and children staying with us.

Who are you?

We are looking for you who are educated as a social worker, behavioral scientist, or have another equivalent university degree that the employer deems suitable.

Based on the target group and their needs, we see that you are a female employee. You have previous experience working with domestic violence and are well versed in the target group and their needs.

As a person, you are flexible, adaptable, and enjoy variety in your tasks. You have the ability to remain calm in stressful situations, you are reliable, and find it easy to collaborate with others. Your empathetic ability is strong, and you work on building trust-inspiring relationships without taking over the other person's feelings.

A large part of the work with us involves strengthening and motivating, having faith in the individual's own abilities, and encouraging positive and often life-changing changes.

In addition, you have good documentation habits, good knowledge of the Swedish language both in speech and writing, and hold a B driving license.

For this position, we will request an extract from the criminal record.

We warmly welcome your application!
