Case Worker for the Guardianship Authority in Stenungsund Municipality

Stenungsund, a good society with hope for the future, development centered on people and nature.

Stenungsund Municipality is an expanding coastal municipality with approximately 28,030 inhabitants, a strong business community, residential environments close to the sea, and good transport links. The municipality has a well-developed cultural and association life, as well as excellent opportunities for outdoor activities and recreation. Wholeness, openness, participation, and transparency are the municipality's key words.

The municipality's vision is to reach 35,000 inhabitants by 2035. Stenungsund Municipality is part of the Gothenburg Region Municipal Association, which serves as a forum for cooperation and experience sharing, as well as in several other inter-municipal collaborations.

Stenungsund Municipality, together with Lilla Edet, Orust, and Tjörn municipalities, has a joint Guardianship Authority with Stenungsund as the host municipality. The Guardianship Unit for the four municipalities is managed by civil servants employed by Stenungsund Municipality.

The municipality is organized into an administration with four sectors. The Support Functions sector includes Administration and Digitalization, Business, Communication and Coordination, and Property and Service. The task of the support functions is to facilitate the municipality's sectors to focus on their operations. As a Guardianship Case Worker, you will work within the Support Functions sector, specifically in the Administration and Digitalization function, which includes the Guardianship and Advisory Units.

Currently, eight people work within the Guardianship Unit – six case workers and two case worker/administrators. One case worker has chosen to move on to another position within the municipality, and we are therefore looking for a new case worker.

The team you will become part of is characterized by joy in work, quality awareness, and professionalism. Trust, confidence, and collaboration are key words in our work. We share knowledge and support each other to succeed in our important mission.

In Stenungsund, you will have the opportunity to develop in your role and utilize your competence. We offer flexible working hours, professional development, and wellness benefits.
