About the job

We are looking for a Social Secretary (Social Worker) for Unit Rehab 1 within the Economic Assistance department at the Social Administration South West. The unit works on investigating the right to assistance, with a special focus on subsistence support for individuals with physical and/or mental health issues. We are one of four units within the economic assistance division. The unit consists of 11 social secretaries, one social administrator, two FUT-handlers (handling incorrect payments), and one unit manager.

We value your work environment and offer supervision, staff support, fitness allowance, bicycle allowance, and flexible working hours – to ensure you have a sustainable and pleasant work situation.

In your role as a social secretary, you investigate the right to assistance and work together with the individual all the way to self-sufficiency.

You meet every individual with respect and understanding for their unique situation, adapting to where they are in their process. The work involves close collaboration with various partners within social services, actors conducting work rehabilitation, and not least the healthcare sector.

We offer you a varied and stimulating job. You will share an office with a colleague and be part of a work group characterized by high competence and good cooperation, where we help and support each other forward!
