About the job

Would you like to work as a Family Home Secretary at the Family Home Unit in Nordost in an interesting and stimulating environment with a strong team spirit, good leadership, external supervision, experienced and wonderful colleagues, as well as opportunities for substantial competence development? Then we might be the right workplace for you! The administration actively works with working time innovations, and the unit will from autumn be part of the 4-day week project.

The Family Home Unit is divided into four different groups: the on-call group, the recruitment and investigation group, the family home group, and the contact operations. The work differs somewhat between the different groups, and we collaborate closely with each other based on our different tasks. As a Family Home Secretary in the referral and recruitment group, you work with recruiting and investigating potential foster homes. You often travel by car or train to meet prospective foster parents in their homes. Since the tasks involve investigating prospective foster parents, you must therefore be able to express yourself well in writing and have experience with documentation.

You work closely with child secretaries and investigative social secretaries and drive the processes forward. Development work is ongoing, and there is a strong drive to succeed in finding the right foster homes for the children who need placement. We value teamwork between the different professions and therefore have joint method, team, and well-being days. We want to utilize the capacity and strength found in all social secretaries and believe that together we can achieve the best for our placed children and foster families.

Our foster homes are located primarily in Västra Götaland and Halland counties, but also throughout Sweden. This entails travel as part of the job, and occasionally evening work.
