Vacant job

Description

Arjeplog Municipality is one of Sweden's smallest municipalities by population but one of the largest by area.

Within the Individual and Family Care unit, we currently have two social secretaries, one case worker, 0.5 unit manager, and two assistance case workers (SoL and LSS).

As our current case worker has chosen to pursue new challenges, we are now looking for a social secretary/case worker.

You will work with all aspects of our unit, including children and youth, adults, substance abuse, economic assistance, family law, and domestic violence.

The role involves both authority exercises (decision-making) and implementation of decisions.

This means a highly varied job where continuous learning is part of the process. We are a small team that works closely together, helps each other with cases, and places great emphasis on dialogue.

In accordance with the new Social Services Act, we are working to become even more accessible and preventive. This includes a focus on advice and support conversations without prior investigation/decision, as well as utilizing exemptions from documentation requirements.

In our small municipality, we have close proximity to collaboration partners such as schools/student health services, police, health centers, and external partners like the church. We work together with great commitment to create the best possible conditions for the residents.

The work is conducted in accordance with the Social Services Act, LVU (Care of Young Persons Act), LVM (Care of Abusers Act), and other applicable legislation. You are responsible, based on delegation, for legally secure case handling and decisions in individual cases, as well as ensuring that established guidelines and routines are followed.

As a team member, you may occasionally be asked to inform, lecture, and train others about our operations, both internally and externally.

Qualifications

To ensure proper handling of cases regarding children and youth, we prioritize applicants with a social work degree. However, we also view applicants with other education deemed equivalent by the employer as interesting.

We would appreciate experience in authority exercises within any part of Individual and Family Care, such as economic assistance, children and youth, adults, substance abuse, family law, domestic violence, or death estate notifications.

You have good knowledge of current legislation. You are experienced in documentation and can express yourself well in both speech and writing. You need to be structured, flexible, solution-focused, and have good collaboration skills.

We prioritize caring for our joy of working together and supporting each other in our tasks. This is what we believe makes the difference for a sustainable work climate. If you feel you fit into this context, we welcome your application.

You have good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.

Personal suitability is of great importance.

The position requires a valid driver's license.

Before a potential employment, you will need to provide extracts from the criminal record and suspicion registers.
