Job Responsibilities

The main job responsibilities involve authority exercises according to the Social Services Act (SoL). You will investigate and assess the user's needs, make decisions, and follow up on granted measures. We work with an IBIC approach in the investigation work to better map needs and plan measures. We value collaboration around the user and have developed cross-professional teams that meet regularly.

In the social welfare case worker group, there are four positions that serve both the authority exercises and the SVO process (Collaboration at Discharge). The municipality is divided into different geographical areas where three case workers are responsible for these, and one case worker is responsible for the SVO process. The hourly employment will cover service leaves in the existing work group; work schedule and tasks will be planned upon agreement at the start of employment.

Qualifications

You who apply must be a social worker or have at least started a social work education and studied social law. Experience as a social welfare case worker from before is meritorious, as is experience with IBIC. You need to have good knowledge of current legislation in the area, and it is important that you feel comfortable meeting people with dignity and providing good quality despite a high pace with high demands on documentation and legal certainty.

We are looking for you who are responsible, flexible, and open. You have good cooperation skills and care about creating good relationships. You focus on treating every individual with dignity and respect, starting from strengthening their own ability. You have a very good ability to express yourself in speech and writing and are interested in actively developing the operation. We place great emphasis on personal maturity and suitability.

You work independently with high structure and can handle many parallel processes that are in different phases. You are good at keeping calm even in pressured situations and have a well-developed ability to communicate directly and clearly while working to strengthen the individual's own ability.
