Social Secretary for Disability Services in Habo Municipality

Do you want to work with qualified public administration where you can make a real difference in people's daily lives? Here, you will have an independent and developmental assignment in a business characterized by collaboration, legal certainty, and development.

We are now looking for a Social Secretary for disability services, as one of our employees is moving on to another position within the municipality.

About the Unit

Here, you will become part of an engaged and competent public authority unit consisting of eight social secretaries, three of whom work within disability services and five within elderly care. The unit also includes a next of kin coordinator, an activity and cooperation coordinator, and a unit manager. We work closely together and value an open working climate where we share knowledge, support each other, and develop the business together.

We offer meaningful and varied work where you have the opportunity to make a real difference for people with disabilities and contribute to their ability to live an independent life based on their needs. Here, you will have an independent assignment with close support from colleagues and management, regular external supervision, and good opportunities to develop in your professional role.

Responsibilities

As a Social Secretary, you are responsible for investigating, assessing, making decisions, and following up on measures according to the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act on Support and Service for Certain Persons with Functional Impairments (LSS).

You meet both younger and older people with disabilities and process applications for support and measures based on the individual's needs. The work involves many contacts and close cooperation with the individual, next of kin, guardians, and administrators, as well as healthcare, other authorities, and internal and external cooperation partners.

We work in the business system Pulsen Combine and use IBIC (Individual Needs at the Center) as support in investigation, assessment, and documentation.

The work is independent and varied with significant personal responsibility. At the same time, you are part of a team where we support each other, collaborate, and take responsibility for the development of the business together.

Since we are a joint public authority unit for disability services and elderly care, we work closely together across business boundaries. If necessary, we help each other within the unit, which means that tasks within elderly care may occur. We see this as a natural part of our joint assignment and a strength that contributes to increased cooperation, knowledge exchange, and good service to the municipality's residents.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who has:

• A degree in Social Work or another academic education that the employer deems equivalent.
• Good ability to express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing.
• Good computer skills.
• Class B driver's license.

It is an advantage if you have:

• Experience in public administration according to SoL and LSS.
• Experience working according to IBIC.
• Experience with the business system Pulsen Combine.

About You

We are looking for someone who is secure, responsible, and has a genuine commitment to people. You have good analytical skills and can make well-founded assessments based on current legislation. You work in a structured manner, plan and prioritize your work effectively, and have the ability to adapt when conditions change.

You have a professional and respectful approach, are clear in your communication, and find it easy to build trusting relationships. You have very good collaboration skills and actively contribute to a positive working climate where we support each other, share knowledge, and take responsibility for the development of the business together.

We also value that you are solution-focused, take initiative, and want to be involved in the development of the business. Here, we actively work with business development, digitalization, and a legally secure public administration where quality, participation, and continuous improvements are a natural part of our work.

Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.

Employment Terms

Duration: Start date: 2026-10-01 or as agreed.
