Social Worker for Young Adults in Alingsås

Welcome to Alingsås! As an employee in our municipality, you have all the opportunities to help develop our operations and workplace. With nearly 4,000 employees, we are large enough to drive change and small enough for everyone to have an impact and room for their ideas. This is a place for innovators. Together, we create Alingsås!

The Adult Unit is responsible for the exercise of authority for persons aged 18 and over who have harmful use, addiction, and co-occurring disorders, as well as for persons with social psychiatric issues and those seeking support related to violence in close relationships. Recently, we have also taken responsibility for the exercise of authority regarding assistance with housing.

The Adult Unit is divided into an investigation group and a reception group. The unit has many experienced social secretaries and supportive, present leadership. Methodological support takes place weekly in groups, and you will receive case guidance with one of our two senior social secretaries, tailored to your needs. We also have external process guidance. We strive to be a leading social services department, and we see collaboration with our service providers as a valuable foundation in our work, which is also reflected in the structured development work currently underway.

As some of our colleagues have moved on in their careers, we are now looking for two new social work colleagues to join our investigation group as social secretaries, with a focus on young adults aged 18-25.

Here, as a social worker, you will be part of an engaged and close-knit team where well-being and care for each other are highly prioritized. You will work in a team-based and cross-functional manner, collaborating with colleagues both within the Social Services Administration and other parts of the municipality. Everyone is located geographically close to one another, which facilitates cooperation and gives you a meaningful and enjoyable workday.

When you join us, we offer you among other things:

• Secure employment with experienced leadership
• Training in MI (Motivational Interviewing) and ASI
• Mentorship
• Excellent opportunities for development, contribution, and pride in your work
• Extra vacation days when you turn 40 and 50
• Parental benefit supplement
• Wellness allowance and favorable discounts via E-passi
• Bike benefits
• Access to work bikes

We work in an old candy factory with a rooftop terrace where we can enjoy a lovely coffee in the sun from time to time. We have a vibrant coffee break tradition where homemade baked goods are often served. The office is centrally located within walking and cycling distance to many meetings, the central station, and a vibrant city center offering restaurants, cafes, and shopping. The workplace is in direct proximity to Nolhaga Park, which offers beautiful nature for lunch walks. There are also jogging tracks and an outdoor gym, and we have access to showers. A large gym chain is located in the same building as our office and offers employee discounts. For those who drive, we offer free parking.
