Application: Development Role at the Emergency Department – Collaboration between Gävle Municipality and Region Gävleborg

Do you want to help make Gävle even better with us? At Gävle Municipality, we work together with dedication to offer our residents a safe and inspiring environment. We offer you a workplace built on trust, where you can develop professionally and grow as a person. We welcome your application!

About the Unit and Target Group

Our units consist of social secretaries (biståndshandläggare), senior social secretaries, resident coordinators, and administrators. The target group consists of individuals over 18 years of age who apply for support and assistance not covered by the LSS (Act on Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) or who do not belong to the target group for processing within social psychiatry. Our target group is constantly growing, which requires our operations to dare to try new working methods to best meet the challenges of welfare. Here, we try new approaches and evaluate them continuously. You are expected to act based on our value base in all contacts and work proactively.

A colleague at the workplace expresses that it is an advantage if you like autumn, while another colleague says it is an advantage if you do not like autumn. On our units, Investigation Unit Care 1 and 2, we all have different perspectives on things, but we have collectively decided that our work environment should be permeated by acceptance, security, and positivity where everyone is equally important.

Job Responsibilities

We offer a developmental assignment where you get the opportunity to contribute to the development of collaboration between Gävle Municipality and Region Gävleborg. The role involves varied work with both operational and developmental elements in a business with a strong focus on cooperation.

The assignment is a joint development project between Gävle Municipality and Region Gävleborg. The purpose is to contribute to a more sustainable use of healthcare and social care by:

• Preventing unnecessary admissions to inpatient care
• Strengthening trust in Gävle Municipality’s interventions
• Enabling the right support to be put in place at an early stage

We are now looking for you with a degree from the Social Work program or the Social Care program for a development role at the emergency department within Region Gävleborg, where you will have a key role in reducing admissions and strengthening trust in Gävle Municipality’s interventions.

You are employed by Gävle Municipality with a primary placement within the Investigation Unit Care, but you work operationally 50% at the emergency department within Region Gävleborg and 50% at the Investigation Unit Care at Gävle Municipality.

The work involves assessing the need for interventions according to the Social Services Act (SoL) and making decisions on support in close connection with patient flow. You collaborate with healthcare personnel, patients, and relatives, and contribute to making Gävle Municipality’s interventions visible as an alternative to inpatient care.

The assignment also contains a clear development perspective where you participate in developing and testing new working methods. The role is partly shaped within the framework of the assignment.

• Have a degree in Social Work or from the Social Care program
• Have experience in public administration, preferably within elderly care or a similar area

• Analytical and structured, with the ability to handle complex situations
• Collaborative-oriented and have an easy time building trusting relationships
