Do you want a coordinating role where you contribute to ensuring that social services placements maintain high quality and are used responsibly? As a coordinator within the Individual and Family Care department, you will become a vital link between the social services, external care providers, and several other functions. By creating structure, following up on agreements, and developing working methods, you contribute to a legally secure and efficient handling of the municipality's placements outside the home.

YOUR ROLE

As a coordinator, you are responsible for coordinating and developing the work around the municipality's external placements. You work with agreements, follow-up, quality, and collaboration between the social services and external care providers for children, young people, and adults. You coordinate the work between social workers, managers, controllers, economists, procurement officers, support functions, and external care providers to ensure that agreements are followed in a quality-assured and cost-effective manner.

You are responsible for developing and updating follow-up routines, reviewing agreements and invoices, and monitoring costs to contribute to an efficient use of the municipality's resources. You also ensure that notice periods and contract terms are followed and that documentation maintains high quality.

The assignment also includes work with procurements, renegotiations, and potential disputes, as well as spreading knowledge about guidelines and working methods.

YOUR COMPETENCE AND EXPERIENCE

We are looking for you who have a university education relevant to the assignment, for example as a social worker, economist, procurement officer, HR specialist, or sociologist.

You have experience working in a coordinating role where you have planned, structured, and followed up on processes together with several different actors. You also have good administrative skills and are accustomed to working in various digital systems, handling documentation, and following processes and routines. You see opportunities to develop working methods and are happy to contribute to making processes simpler, safer, and clearer.

You communicate fluently in Swedish, both orally and in writing, and have an easy time building good relationships. You are confident in contacting people, coordinating different interests, and formulating clear documentation and agreements based on existing templates.

It is meritorious if you have experience from the social services or have worked with placements, procurements, or contract follow-ups. Experience in economic work, for example invoice processing, budgeting, or follow-up, is also an advantage.

To thrive in the role, you need to enjoy creating structure and driving work forward. You work methodically, keep several processes together simultaneously, and ensure that tasks are completed. When questions are complex, you can analyze information and see connections between different factors. You collaborate without hierarchy with many different functions, build trusting relationships, and feel confident in your role.

YOUR NEW WORKPLACE

At the Individual and Family Care department, we work to ensure that people get a better life situation. We provide support, protection, and guidance, always with respect for the individual's responsibility and integrity. Here you meet colleagues who, with courage, care, and collaboration, make a real difference for children, young people, and adults in Skellefteå.

As a placement coordinator, you will become part of the Individual and Family Care department at the social office. You will collaborate closely with several different operations and functions within the municipality, giving you a broad insight into the work of the social services and great opportunities to influence how our processes develop.

Here, we value collaboration, knowledge sharing, and engagement. You will receive an assignment where you contribute to developing working methods that strengthen the quality of the operations and create good conditions for both colleagues and the people we serve.

NICE TO KNOW

We recruit based on competence and focus on your experience, knowledge, and potential. Instead of a cover letter, you answer some selection questions and attach an updated CV.

The selection process begins after the last application date, August 23. Candidates who proceed in the process are invited to tests and interviews. We respond to all applicants within one week after the last application date.
