Lerum Municipality is known for its beautiful natural areas with lakes and forests. The municipality has 3,200 employees and 43,000 residents but expects significant growth in the coming years. Lerum is located only 20 minutes from Gothenburg and is currently facing a period of intensive development with many exciting projects underway, ranging from schools to housing. The municipality works to ensure good service, high welfare, and a thriving business climate.

Dagens Samhälle named Lerum the winner in the category of large urban municipalities (2025) - an award based on a comprehensive comparison of 290 Swedish municipalities in areas such as education, healthcare and social care, economy, culture and leisure, attractiveness, business, and future factors such as digitalization and civil preparedness. Lerum is, therefore, a Super Municipality!

At Myndighet Funktionsstöd, ten social secretaries, two senior social secretaries, and one unit manager work today, several with many years of experience in the unit's area of responsibility. We are a team that enjoys working together, helps each other when needed, and has fun. As a case handler, you are surrounded by collegial support, receive case guidance from senior social secretaries, participate in method development, and receive external supervision.

We are looking for you for a qualified role as a social secretary who, together with us, wants to drive development for the benefit of our municipal residents.

We are organized into a children and young adults group (0–24 years) and an adult group (25+) where we handle all types of cases under both LSS (Act on Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) and SoL (Social Services Act) within both groups. The employee we are looking for will primarily work within the children and young adults group, where you will mainly encounter target groups within LSS. However, we want to emphasize that we are a unit and help each other when needed and during leave.
