Social Secretary (Social Worker) for the Assistance Unit, Stenungsund Municipality

Stenungsund, a good society with confidence in the future and development centered on people and nature.

Stenungsund Municipality is an expanding coastal municipality with approximately 28,000 inhabitants, a strong business community, residential environments close to the sea, and good transport links. The municipality has a well-developed cultural and association life, as well as excellent conditions for outdoor activities and recreation. Wholeness, openness, participation, and transparency are the municipality's key words.

The municipality's vision is to reach 35,000 inhabitants by 2035. Stenungsund Municipality is part of the Gothenburg Region Municipal Alliance, which serves as a forum for cooperation and knowledge exchange, as well as in several other municipal collaborations. The town hall is centrally located in Stenungsund, close to the train and bus station for commuters, with parking available for drivers, a wide range of shopping and lunch restaurants, and the opportunity to take a dip in the sea right outside the office window.

The municipality is organized into an administration with four sectors. The Social Services sector is undergoing an organizational change where we are expanding from four business areas to five: Special Housing/Short-term Activities, Home Care, Individual and Family Services, Disability Services, and the fifth area, Municipal Primary Care/Assistance/Prevention Unit.

At the Assistance Unit/Care and Support, 8 social secretaries, senior social secretaries, and unit managers work. The Assistance Unit consists of a skilled work group where collaboration and teamwork are fundamental to our way of working.

We offer you a pleasant workplace with many laughs and professional employees of various ages. Stenungsund Municipality offers training during working hours and several benefits such as annual working hours, wellness allowance, and the possibility of remote work.

You will receive a good introduction and be offered both internal and external supervision.

Job Responsibilities

We are now looking for two social secretaries for our team as two appreciated colleagues have moved on to new assignments within the municipality.

As a social secretary, you process applications, investigate, assess needs, inform, make decisions, and follow up on measures for those entitled to support under the Social Services Act (SoL). We work with meeting people in need of support, including both seniors and younger individuals with various support needs in their daily lives.

We collaborate with service providers, such as home care, special housing, and other social services, authorities, and healthcare. The work involves a high degree of public authority exercise, requiring legal certainty, a common approach, and equal assessments. With the help of your knowledge and good treatment, you ensure that the individuals you meet receive the help and support they need to live a good and independent life like others.

We use the documentation system Procapita/Life Care, and the Assistance Unit has worked based on IBIC for several years. The assignment mainly involves handling the care planning system SAMSA and the admission and discharge process. We work with a planning team where we collaborate with several relevant actors to ensure a safe return home after hospital stays. The division in the work group is that three employees work in the planning team and the rest handle other case processing.

We are looking for social secretaries who are curious and engaged regarding the changed way of working that is underway with the new Social Services Act. Here, you will get stimulating and responsible work, with great opportunities to influence, as well as access to method and process supervision.

Merits:

• Knowledge of the admission and discharge process from inpatient healthcare.

Since the positions involve administrative work, you need to have a good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

To fit the role, you need to be careful, structured, and efficient with your time. You work well with others by listening, showing interest, and respect. You understand the common mission and work to ensure it is carried out well, keeping users, relatives, and your work group in mind.

For the assignment as a social secretary, we are looking for you who see opportunities for beneficial changes and contribute to creating situations where new ideas and proposals can be developed. You work transparently and inclusively towards both the work group and supervisors and unit managers.

You proceed from the equal value of all people and create a good atmosphere, both in meetings and within your own work group.
