Your workplace

We in the intake group at Children and Family are looking for new colleagues as two of our staff members are going on parental leave.

Within the Investigation and Protection Unit, we work with qualified intake, investigation, and follow-up work in accordance with current legislation. BBiC (Children's Needs at the Center) and Signs of Safety permeate all our work, as we explore networks and their own solutions together with families, always with the child's safety and best interests as the starting point. We drive processes forward by being structured, curious, innovative, and brave.

The Investigation and Protection Unit consists of an intake group, two investigation groups, a high-intensity investigation group, and the social services' Domestic Violence in Close Relationships team. The operational area also includes the Prevention and Service Unit and the Family Support and Foster Care Unit, which enables close collaboration and the right help at the right time.

The intake group consists of five social secretaries and an SSPF-coordinator/social secretary in collaboration with the police, along with our own 1st social secretary. Collegially, we are non-hierarchical, curious about each other's perspectives, and value our differences. We work together on most things and help each other out. We are keen to jointly enable a balance between work and leisure, and we also have a rolling schedule for the possibility of remote work.

Your assignment

You will primarily work within the framework of preliminary assessments by receiving applications and reports concerning children and young people aged 0–20 years, and writing statements upon request from other authorities. You are a key part of the initial contact for children, young people, families, concerned members of the public, and professionals. You collaborate closely with preschools, schools, the police, and healthcare. We also visit various collaboration partners at their APT meetings (Assessment and Planning Meetings) to explain our mission, and participate in some parent groups.

In meetings with families and collaboration partners, we are careful to ensure everyone receives a good reception. We have a strong child's perspective, are sensitive to people's concerns, and attuned to families' experiences of their situation.

We like to think new and find creative solutions. Since Härryda is a smaller municipality, there are great opportunities to test ideas, both big and small. For example, we have recently started a collaboration with the municipal library, and we are exploring other new collaboration opportunities with other parts of society. We are close to our internal colleagues, which facilitates collaboration in general but especially at the individual level.

The position is a permanent appointment at the Investigation and Protection Unit, but not specifically within the intake group. Due to the new Social Services Act, parts of the organization may look different when our colleagues on parental leave return, which could mean you stay in the intake group. If not, your employment will continue in one of our other work groups.

Requirements for the position

Requirements:

• Social Work degree (210 ECTS/credits)
• Category B driver's license
• Experience in investigation work/public authority work concerning children and young people

Meritorious qualifications:

• Experience in intake assignments within children and young people
• Training in BBiC, Signs of Safety, Ester, Savry, systems theory, MI, ViNR, or honor-related violence and threats

For employment in public authority assignments, a background check is conducted, including extracts from the Police Register of Offenses and study certificates from higher education institutions.

Your personal qualities are important to us

To thrive with us, you need to enjoy working together and in teams. You should like that the job is varied and involves short processes. You are a development-oriented and engaged social worker who believes that as a social secretary in an intake group, you make a difference in the meeting with the individual. You are kind, enjoy having fun at work, and care about your colleagues. In your work, it is important that you can express yourself well orally and in writing, and that you adapt your communication to the situation and target group.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.

What we offer you

You receive continuous support and supervision from the 1st social secretary. You participate in and contribute to internal method guidance and external process guidance together with your group. As a new employee, you will receive a secure welcome and a good introduction based on your situation and experience. You have close access to support functions such as the IT service desk, social law attorneys, and our administrative support.

Here you are given the opportunity for development and experience job satisfaction. You are offered development opportunities in the form of further education in evidence-based methods based on interest and the needs of the operations.

The little extra that is obvious with us:

• You have a fixed workplace, in your own or shared room, and close to accessible supervision and managers.
• We have flextime and the possibility to work remotely when tasks exist and the operations allow it.
• Competitive salary.
• Benefits such as a generous wellness allowance.
