Vacant job

Description

We at the Adult Unit, Individual and Family Care in Vänersborg, are now expanding our service provider team and looking for more treatment secretaries who want to work within our outpatient activities! The target groups we meet include, for example, adults with various forms of harmful use and addiction, domestic violence, other violence/threats, as well as defectors from criminal activities and crime victims. Are you interested in an inspiring and varied assignment? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

The Adult Unit consists of an investigation team and a service provider team, along with a unit manager. The daily work in each team is led and distributed by a senior social secretary and two senior treatment secretaries, who are also responsible for methodological supervision. We offer you a position with a well-thought-out introduction, continuous internal methodological supervision, and external process supervision. We also offer several benefits for employees, such as the opportunity for four days of trust leave per year to strengthen the possibility of reflection and recovery. In addition, we have a flexible working hours agreement. On our unit, we value having a good, developmental, and pleasant work climate where we are proud of the qualified work we do to meet the needs of our clients.

Since we in Vänersborg want an accessible outpatient activity and since we know that many of the clients we meet need interventions even outside "office hours," all our treatment secretaries work on scheduled shifts. For us, it is therefore important that you have a genuine commitment to the work and see the importance of being able to provide counseling support also in the evenings and on weekends, and that you have the prerequisites to work according to the schedule.

Job Responsibilities

The service provider team of the Adult Unit is responsible, among other things, for carrying out various forms of outpatient interventions directed at the target group of adults with harmful use/addiction, and to some extent interventions regarding domestic violence. We will also increasingly encounter youths/young adults with other forms of social problems. The foundation of the work is psychosocial supportive and pedagogical conversations/methods, and as a treatment secretary with us, you will, together with other employees at the unit, work methodically to make a difference in our clients' daily lives. The service provider team works largely with interventions without needs assessment (IUB) but also with assistance-assessed interventions. Regardless of how the intervention was initiated, it is the individual client's needs that determine how the work in each case is planned and carried out. In cases where an intervention is given based on an assistance decision, the assignment from the unit's investigation team also provides direction in the case.

We expect you to take great responsibility for the design, implementation, and quality of the work. You will also work according to the goals, guidelines, and legislation that apply to the activity and your position as a treatment secretary. In our organization, we also place great emphasis on ensuring that IFO's and the unit's relationship goals, as well as the social administration's employee principles, are followed.

As a treatment secretary, you work close to the client, and it is therefore important that you have a clear client focus and the ability to create good meetings and conversations with our clients. On our unit, we actively work with implementation plans and goal follow-up based on assignments, and we also prioritize follow-ups of approved interventions together with clients, social secretaries/investigation teams, and possibly other providers/actors.

Qualifications

To be qualified for the position, you need to have a three-year university education as a social worker, social pedagogue, or behavioral scientist (or alternatively another university education that the employer deems suitable for the position). If you have experience working with harmful use and addiction, domestic violence, or authority enforcement, and e.g., training in MI, AP, HAP, CRA, or other support/treatment methods, it is meritorious but not a requirement. You need to be able to work in a structured manner, have a genuine commitment to our target groups, and have a flexible and solution-focused approach.

The most important characteristics and abilities for this work are responsibility, independence, courage, and curiosity, and the position requires that you have a very good ability to prioritize independently and to collaborate in a team. Something that is fundamental in the work as a treatment secretary with us is that you can express yourself well and nuancedly in both speech and writing, and that you enjoy documenting and are aware of the importance of documentation. You must also be able to complement and contribute to continued development and dynamics in the team and at the unit in general, so we will therefore place great emphasis on personal suitability.

A B-driver's license is a requirement.

If this sounds like a job for you, you are warmly welcome to submit your application!

Interviews may take place continuously during the application period.

When applying for a position within the Social Administration's activities, you must be prepared to present an extract from the criminal record register before the position is appointed.
