We are looking for a Benefits Caseworker for the target group of social psychiatry within the adult second-line care area in Haninge Municipality. This is a fixed-term position lasting until December 2026, with a possibility of extension.

The adult second-line care area includes authority exercises for the target groups of young adults, adults with substance abuse issues, and social psychiatry. We provide own-run housing for these groups, supported housing, social support measures, and our own outpatient care.

We are accessible and offer good service; we treat our citizens with professionalism and respect, and we manage taxpayers' money carefully. The focus of the unit's work within authority exercises is secure case processing and uniform assessments.

The unit's assignment is to process applications from individuals, investigate the need for measures, make decisions, and follow up on the measures. The unit consists of seven benefits caseworkers, including one senior caseworker, two administrative positions serving the entire area, and one unit manager.

It is important to us that you are a stable person who can maintain calm in difficult situations. You also have a solution-oriented and empathetic approach and are clear and structured in your work. You are independent and have the ability to take initiative to ensure the work flows smoothly. You have good collaboration skills and place great emphasis on providing good treatment, both internally and externally.

We constantly work for a good work environment and therefore place great emphasis on personal suitability.
