The Welfare Administration's task is to help people who, due to age, disability, economic or family problems, need various forms of support and assistance. The Welfare Administration consists of three departments: Care and Support, Support, and IFO (Individual and Family Care). The Care and Support department consists of units within elderly care, home care, and municipal primary healthcare. The Support department covers LSS (Support and Service Act for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments). The IFO department consists of social services, the employment unit, social psychiatry, and the assistance unit.

The Adult Unit

Individual and Family Care consists of several units, of which IFO Adult is one. IFO Adult, in turn, consists of the dependency group and the social assistance group. In the dependency group, three people work: one full-time in treatment, one with a shared role directed towards treatment and official decision-making regarding harmful use, and a third role responsible for official decision-making regarding harmful use and social psychiatry.

Our colleague who works with official decision-making regarding harmful use and social psychiatry is moving on to another position, so we are looking for a new colleague to our unit. You are warmly welcome to become part of our dedicated team and help create positive change in Munkedal Municipality!
