The Reception Unit

The Reception Unit is a work group with broad and long experience in working within social services, consisting of five social secretaries, a street worker, as well as a team leader and unit manager.

The unit also has an ongoing project with 2 social secretaries with a case manager function, for which we have been granted UPH funds for 2026.

We are located in premises in Huddinge Centre, and it is easy to get here by public transport.

The primary task of the Reception Unit is to offer our residents in Huddinge a way into the section within the framework of preliminary assessments. You can contact the Reception Unit if you want to apply for support based on addiction issues, mental disability, and/or domestic violence, or if you want to make a report if you are worried about someone. The Reception Unit is responsible for receiving, processing, and assessing new reports and applications; a large part of the work is also to determine municipal affiliation. We have high accessibility and are developing various digital solutions to facilitate contact with our citizens and collaboration partners.

For us, humor and humility are also important elements in a work group, and that you together with colleagues contribute to a good social climate in the group.
