Social Worker for Individual and Family Care in Kungsör

As a social worker with us, you will be the driving force that helps people strengthen themselves, grow, and find new paths forward!

Individual and Family Care is one of three areas within the Social Services Administration. Here, we actively work for close and efficient cooperation – both within our own operations and together with our various collaboration partners. The area is divided into two units responsible for authority exercises and supportive measures. One unit focuses on children, young people, adults, and their families, while the other targets individuals receiving financial support.

The Support and Financial Assistance Unit consists of both authority exercises and operational activities. We investigate and assess the right to financial assistance according to the Social Services Act and manage and coordinate the municipality's labor market work based on internal and external assignments. The goal is to guide people towards self-sufficiency and an independent life through motivational work and supportive measures. We offer good cooperation, close support from management, and external supervision, in addition to other benefits such as flexible working hours, wellness subsidies, and free entry to Kungsör Swimming Pool.

Welcome to a wonderful team that promotes learning and competence development!

Job Responsibilities

As a social worker, you will work with the individual's entire situation, from finances to motivation and change work. You investigate the right to financial assistance by meeting with clients, creating action plans, and following up on measures. You treat every individual with dignity and respect, starting from the premise of strengthening their own capabilities. The work is dynamic and varied, consisting of individual conversations as well as group work, and sometimes visits to places relevant to the work with each client, e.g., visits to internship sites. A key part of the job is cooperation and collaboration with other parties, both within the Social Services Administration, other municipal operations, and external actors such as the Swedish Public Employment Service and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency.

To effectively work with the individual's entire situation with a clear focus on change leading to sustainable livelihood solutions, we have chosen to organize our assignment so that we work in pairs of two social workers. The ambition is to have high availability for our clients, have plenty of time for motivational and change work, and to utilize each employee's competencies in the best possible way.

If you have knowledge of counseling methods, that is also an advantage. In the role, you need a B driver's license and good computer skills, in addition to the ability to express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

As a person, you are engaged and enjoy working in a team while independently driving the work forward. You need to be adaptable to changed circumstances and sometimes high tempo. To succeed in the role, it is important that you are receptive in contact with others and have a natural ability to put yourself in others' perspectives and situations without losing your professional integrity. You have a positive view of people and focus on the individual's own resources. Through your coaching approach, you foster cooperation for increased independence. You also actively participate in the unit's development work and contribute to a good and pleasant working environment. Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.
