Your new workplace

The Reception Group is often people's first contact with the social services. We process incoming reports and make preliminary assessments. The unit also handles acute situations, which may involve home visits in urgent family situations or immediate support for adults with substance abuse issues. The Reception Unit processes and exercises authority according to the Social Services Act (SoL), the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU), and the Care of Abusers of Alcohol and Drugs Act (LVM), and is responsible for receiving reports concerning both children and adults. The Family and Adult Reception team belongs to the Child Track within the Individual and Labour Market Administration. Here, 13 social secretaries, a coordinator, an administrator, and a unit manager work. We apply the 6.2 working hours model, and remote work opportunities are available. The work is varied and stimulating, and we are now looking for another social secretary for daytime hours to expand our team. As a social secretary in the Reception Group, you will belong to a secure and knowledgeable team where we care about each other and see different skills as an asset and strength. We offer regular supervision in social law and process guidance for your professional development.

How you contribute as a social secretary

As a social secretary, you are responsible for processing incoming reports and applications concerning both children and adults. The Reception Group makes preliminary assessments, and after an investigation has begun, the case is forwarded to the investigation team. The work also involves acute placements of children and adults, statements to various authorities, and placements for victims of violence during on-call hours. Within the Reception Group, the municipality's Social Emergency Service is staffed by social secretaries working according to day, evening, and weekend schedules. In case of illness or leave, it is desirable that the entire Reception Group can assist with staffing the emergency service. Therefore, there is an opportunity to work evening hours on occasional occasions if needed.

To thrive in the role of social secretary, you have an empathetic and respectful approach.
