About the workplace

We are looking for a Social Secretary (Socialsekreterare) for a fixed-term position within the authority division of the Adult Unit. Do you want to help develop the future social services? At the Adult Unit, you will have an important role in a business characterized by collaboration, commitment, and development.

The Adult Unit is part of the Individual and Family Care and is responsible for both authority enforcement and implementation. Within the authority division, we work with support and interventions for adults aged 18 and above. Here, there is a reception team and two investigation groups – one for young adults (18–25 years) and one for persons aged 26 and older.

In the authority enforcement, eight social secretaries and one social administrator work. The work is led by two senior social secretaries and a unit manager.

This position is an expansion of the Adult Unit's staffing – a step in adapting to the new Social Services Act's intentions for a more accessible and preventive social service.

The unit's service delivery part consists of a social medicine clinic, a crisis center focusing on domestic violence, therapists within "Housing First," a SIG coordinator, and a ViNR coordinator.

An exciting development work is underway, focusing on creating an even more cohesive, accessible, and understandable social service. We actively work to increase collaboration between the authority and service providers – all to offer our clients the best possible support.

We strive to be a competent and collaborative unit where team spirit is strong. By combining our different competencies and meeting clients together, we want to make social services more accessible and secure.
