Vacant job

Do you want a job where you make a real difference while becoming part of an engaged and supportive team?

Previously divided into two units, we are now merging to create a stronger and more cohesive operation. Here, you will have the opportunity to contribute to exciting development work and help shape our shared future.

We look forward to receiving your application!

YOUR ASSIGNMENT

The position is divided between 50% Senior Social Worker (First-line Supervisor) and 50% Case Worker.

As a Senior Social Worker, you hold a supervisory role where you lead and distribute the operational work within the unit. You contribute to ensuring that the operations are conducted in a legally secure, cost-effective manner, and in accordance with political decisions and set goals. In your daily work, you serve as a support for social workers in matters concerning preliminary assessments, protective assessments, and prioritizations.

You actively work with operational development, quality assurance, and competence development at both individual and group levels. Through environmental scanning, you stay updated on legislation and changes within the field, acting as a support in translating guidelines and goals into practice.

As a Case Worker, you are responsible for investigating, assessing, and making decisions regarding financial assistance or support measures for adults in various life situations. Your main focus will be within one of the areas, but since the operations work closely together, we view collaboration and flexibility as important parts of the assignment. This gives you the opportunity to develop broad competence and contribute to a holistic view of the individual's needs.

Our goal is to strengthen people's prerequisites for independence and self-support. We believe in the individual's ability to develop and in the value of close collaboration between colleagues. Here, there is a good sense of community where we share knowledge, experiences, and responsibility.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who are educated as a Social Worker. You have experience in authority practice and good knowledge of current legislation, especially the Social Services Act. Experience in authority practice with adults is meritorious. You also have good computer skills. A Class B driver's license is required.

To succeed in the role, we see that you:

• Have the ability to coordinate, create engagement, and promote participation.
• See the big picture and can balance the needs of the operation with the best interests of the individual.
• Collaborate well with colleagues, managers, and external actors, and contribute to solutions through a non-hierarchical approach.
• Are secure, stable, and solution-oriented even in challenging situations.
• Work systematically, plan well, and follow tasks from start to finish.
• Are proactive, relationship-building, and adapt your communication to the recipient and situation.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

ABOUT THE WORKPLACE

We are part of the transition to the social services of the future and work to strengthen preventive work and develop new ways to meet the needs of adults. Together, we are building a social service that is accessible, evidence-based, and close to the residents.

Here, you will meet an open and trusting work climate where engagement, participation, and professional development are in focus. We see learning as a natural part of the work and encourage new ideas and methods.

You will receive close support from both colleagues and management. Through regular case reviews, group meetings, and collegial supervision, we create good conditions for quality, security, and development. Here, no one is alone in their assignment – we take joint responsibility for the operation and support each other in daily work.
