Vacant job

We are now looking for a Technical Case Worker for Housing Adaptation!

The Care and Elderly Care Administration in Borås Municipality works towards the goal that both younger and older residents in need of care, support, and services, as well as healthcare and preventive health work, should have a good life every day.

Make a real difference – every day. As a Technical Case Worker with us, you will become a key person in making homes accessible and adapted for people of all ages. You will find sustainable solutions and see the impact of your work directly in people's daily lives.

The team consists of two decision-handling case workers, one administrative case worker, one technical case worker, and a unit manager. Housing Adaptation belongs to the business area Authority.

We are located at Ramnåsgatan 1 in central Borås, just next to the central station and travel center.

We work based on the Act (2018:222) on Housing Adaptation Grants. The grant is a municipal subsidy aimed at you who have a disability. The Housing Adaptation Unit investigates, makes decisions, and carries out approximately 800 adaptations per year for people with various disabilities who need their homes adapted. Housing adaptation can, for example, involve threshold removal, ramps, lifts, or bathroom renovations.

Your main responsibilities include conducting home visits, investigating, and ordering the adaptation that is most suitable from a technical and economic perspective. You also verify completed adaptations by reviewing incoming invoices. The work performed is documented in a digital system.

You will meet people of all ages and life situations in their homes. The work is carried out with significant personal responsibility and involves many contacts, primarily with grant applicants, contractors, and property owners.

You can read more about housing adaptation on Borås Municipality's website or on the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's (Boverket) website.

We are looking for you who have a building technology education (upper secondary school, university college, or university) combined with practical experience from the industry.

You have experience in administrative work, good computer skills, and express yourself well in speech and writing in Swedish. Your work is structured, and you have the ability to prioritize your tasks, as well as being flexible, stress-resistant, and meticulous. You find it easy to work both in teams and independently, and you have a professional approach towards applicants, contractors, and colleagues.

You should be practical and solution-oriented.

We see diversity among our employees as a success factor and welcome applicants with different backgrounds. Knowledge of Finnish is an asset as Borås Municipality is a Finnish administrative area. A B-class driver's license is required for the position.

In Borås Municipality, differences are an asset and diversity is a strength. Here you have opportunities if you want to create, change, and develop. We work to improve everyday life and make a difference together. The people of Borås are always in focus, it's that simple!
