Vacant job

Welcome to shaping the future of social services in Skövde

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

Our organization has transitioned to a first-line social service with a single entry point for citizens, meaning all cases are initially handled by a common reception unit. Investigations and further interventions then 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.
