RESPONSIBILITIES

As a social secretary (biståndshandläggare), you work with official authority exercises according to the Social Services Act (SoL). The target group is primarily elderly people, but you also meet people under 65 years of age. You are responsible for the entire case processing process, from application and investigation to decision, follow-up, and documentation. The work is based on current legislation, guidelines, and knowledge support, where the individual's needs and resources are always at the center.

An important part of the assignment is to contribute to safe and secure care transitions after hospital stays and to collaborate closely with both internal and external actors. The role involves many contacts, so it is important that you enjoy collaborating and building good relationships.

The work requires flexibility and the ability to adapt when conditions change, as well as the ability to switch between different tasks. To thrive in the role, you need to work in a structured manner and take responsibility for independently planning and prioritizing your work. A professional and respectful attitude towards the people we meet is a given, as is a supportive and helpful approach towards colleagues. Here, you work independently but also in close collaboration with your colleagues and your manager.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who have a degree in social work or another education that the employer considers equivalent. You have a good ability to investigate, analyze, and make well-founded decisions and work in a structured and legally secure manner. A professional and respectful attitude is a natural part of your work approach.

You thrive in a role where you need to handle several tasks in parallel and find it easy to prioritize and organize your work when conditions change. You are engaged, driven, and have a genuine interest in social work, the target group, and people's life situations.

We would appreciate it if you have experience with official authority exercises within elderly care, good knowledge of case processing and documentation, and have previously worked with the investigation methodology "Individual's Needs at the Center" (IBIC).

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
