Job Description

As a Social Secretary in our Investigation Group, you will, together with your 8 colleagues, handle cases according to the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) concerning children and young people aged 0–21. The tasks include receiving reports of concern, applications, and conducting protective and preliminary assessments. The work involves investigating children's needs according to BBIC, assessing and deciding on interventions, and following up on granted interventions such as open care.

You will have close collaboration with other social secretaries within the unit, as well as with our open care services and external partners.

You are led by the Team Leader and the Unit Manager in daily work. There are well-functioning and established routines and structures at the workplace. The unit continuously works on developing its own working methods and approaches.

All social secretaries in the group have been trained in the evidence-based risk assessment methods Earl and Savry. As a social secretary in the Investigation Group, you will also attend these trainings. Ronneby Municipality participates in SKR's "Yrkesresan" (Career Journey), which all employees are encouraged to participate in. We have made significant progress in our transition work based on the new Social Services Act, including well-established TSI work and IUB (interventions without needs assessment), as well as increased accessibility for our citizens. Since 2025, social secretaries have the opportunity to use speech recognition/reading services for documentation to reduce administrative time.

We offer you external supervision, competence development, and wellness activities during working hours, or alternatively, a wellness allowance. You will receive an individually adapted introduction based on your needs.

As our new colleague, you will gain experienced and engaged coworkers, a sense of community, and colleagues who support each other.
