We are now looking for more dedicated employees who want to help shape the future of Värnamo. Here, you work with the individual in focus, creating a workday that is valuable for both you and our citizens.

Description

We are seeking a TSI Case Manager with a specific assignment within mediation and support center for young crime victims.

In this role, you will have a crucial part in ensuring that children and young people receive the right support at the right time. We believe in early interventions, close collaboration, and always starting from the child's perspective. Therefore, we are looking for you who see the whole picture around the child, understand the importance of functioning collaboration systems, and want to contribute to creating good living conditions for all children and young people in the municipality. You will become part of a work where collaboration, participation, and the child's perspective are guiding principles in everything we do.

This is a combined position where you work both promotively, preventively, and supportively. You will be an important part of the municipality's work with Early and Coordinated Interventions (TSI), while simultaneously working with mediation in cases of crime and support for young people who have been victims of crime.

In the TSI work, the goal is to identify needs early and coordinate interventions around the child and the family. You contribute to creating sustainable structures for collaboration between schools, student health services, social services, healthcare, and civil society. To succeed, you need to understand how different operations interact and how shared responsibility can create better conditions for children and young people.

Within the mediation and support center, you meet young crime victims, their families, and young people who have committed crimes. You offer support, guidance, and opportunities for dialogue and processing based on each individual's situation.

Responsibilities

Early and Coordinated Interventions (TSI)

• Act as a support and advisor in matters concerning TSI.
• Lead collaboration meetings where the needs of the child or young person are central.
• Support and guide children, young people, and families based on their situation and needs.
• Spread knowledge about risk and protective factors, as well as the municipality's preventive work, for example, at parent meetings and other information initiatives.

Mediation in Crime and Support Center

• Conduct mediation between the perpetrator and the victim, primarily for young people between 12 and 21 years old. Provide support conversations to young crime victims and their relatives.
• Inform about the legal process and provide practical support in contacts with, for example, the police and the prosecutor. Provide support to witnesses and advice regarding rights and obligations.

Qualifications

You have post-secondary education in social work or equivalent. It is meritorious if you have experience working with children and young people, as well as experience meeting people in crisis.

We are looking for you who are secure, sensitive, and relationship-building. You have a genuine commitment to children and young people and understand that their needs often require coordinated interventions from several actors. You have the ability to see both the individual's situation and the systems that affect it.

You thrive in a role where you collaborate, lead processes, and create conditions for others to contribute. You can handle complex issues, build trust with both other professionals and with children and their networks.

We also believe that you:

• Have very good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing.
• Are structured, flexible, and able to prioritize in a varied daily life.
• Find it easy to collaborate and create good relationships.
• Are comfortable leading meetings and speaking in front of groups.
• Have a development-oriented working method and want to contribute to improving and developing the operations.

We work according to the principle of "best fit" and will therefore place the greatest emphasis on personal suitability.
