Vacant job

Ref: 20261411

Welcome to the Family Care Department at the Employment and Social Administration in the City of Malmö!

Section Inner City 2 and South 2, within the Family Care Department, is now looking for two Family Care Secretaries. This involves one permanent position and one fixed-term contract.

Job Responsibilities

In these roles, your main task is to recruit and investigate prospective foster homes, contact persons, and contact families, as well as to supervise, support, and motivate foster families in ongoing placements in collaboration with child welfare secretaries. You will also handle contracts and finances.

As a Family Care Secretary, you will collaborate closely with colleagues in your own team, as well as with other internal colleagues and external partners. Since many children are placed in foster homes throughout Skåne, but also outside Skåne, the job involves a fair amount of travel, primarily by car. Evening work is also required.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a degree in social work, previous experience in social work, and a genuine interest in working with the target group of children and families.

We would prefer that you have several years of experience in social work after your graduation, previous experience working with children and young people, family care, and preferably experience in investigation work, supervision, and authority exercises according to the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Law on Care of Young Persons (LVU). If you also possess knowledge of or experience with MI (Motivational Interviewing), Signs of Safety, or Lifecare, it will facilitate your work. A B-class driver's license is required.

Merits for the role:

• Training in the Kälvesten Method
• Supervision training

The work places high demands on your ability to build good relationships with the children and families you meet. To succeed in the job, it is also required that you collaborate well with other parties, both internally and externally, and that you can easily adapt to changed circumstances and situations. You will meet people with different experiences and histories, so it is important that you are sensitive and can listen to the person you meet to create good contact. We also see that you have a good ability to structure and can plan, organize, and prioritize your work independently.

Since the work largely involves communication and collaboration, it is a requirement that you can express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

About the Workplace

The Family Care Department is divided into two units. In total, the Family Care Department consists of ten sections, including Skolfam. The work groups consist of child welfare secretaries and family care secretaries with access to close leadership from the section manager and 1st Social Secretary.

We are now recruiting for two different units that are currently located at two different addresses, but from autumn 2026, both units will be located at Hålsjögatan 8.

We offer you as an employee an individual introduction program within the operations as well as continuous internal and external supervision. You also participate continuously in other competence development such as lectures and training. You are also offered a wellness allowance, flexible working hours, and the possibility of holiday exchange.
