Job Description

One of the social secretaries within social assistance that we are looking for will work within reception and incorrect payments, while the other will work within investigation.

In the role of social secretary within social assistance, you will be part of our team working to support the individual in finding the right path to self-sufficiency, where the focus in case handling lies on social work for the benefit of the individual. You investigate eligibility and residence and make a preliminary assessment regarding needs. You provide information and advice to applicants regarding social assistance, investigate, and make legally secure decisions regarding financial assistance based on the Social Services Act. To support the individual, we collaborate closely with, among others, the department's work coaches, occupational health physicians, and external actors/authorities.

For the position of social secretary within reception and incorrect payments, you are also responsible, in addition to the above, for investigating incorrect payments within social assistance. You become an important knowledge bearer in the team by contributing to quality assurance and providing support to colleagues in case handling. The work involves collaborating closely with case handlers in the area, conducting meetings with clients, and independently driving investigations from start to finish. You handle the recovery of incorrectly paid assistance and, when necessary, file police reports in cases of suspected benefit fraud.

For both of these positions, we would appreciate it if you share our view that social work requires a client-centered approach where office visits and home visits form the foundation. You have an easy time understanding other people's situations and see the individually created and updated individual plan as the key to a clear and navigable path toward the individual's goal of becoming self-sufficient. You share your competence and experience and contribute to continuing to develop the operations.
