Recruitment: Preventive Youth Coordinator at Skövde Municipality

Welcome to join us in shaping the future of social services, where we work together with the needs of the citizens in focus!

In our operations, we meet people of all ages, including children, young people, parents, individuals with addictions, substance abuse issues, or social psychiatric disabilities, victims of violence, and those in need of financial support. We work with regulatory authority tasks, needs-assessed interventions, as well as preventive and advisory measures to reach people early.

Our organization has shifted to a first-line social service model with a single entry point for citizens, meaning all cases are initially handled by a common reception unit. Subsequently, investigations and further interventions take place in a second line. This working method aims to make social services more accessible and efficient for everyone in need of support. Collaboration is a central part of our approach as we value supporting each other to achieve the best possible results for those we serve.

We are a sector driven by a genuine interest in our mission, where we aim to create conditions for equal and gender-equal living standards in Skövde through knowledge-based interventions.
