The Reinforcement Team: Consultant Life's Variety – With Security and Team Spirit

Do you want the variety and excitement of consultant life, but miss the security of municipal employment and strong collegial support? WE are launching a brand new initiative to strengthen our internal expertise and stability within the Social Services Department in Nynäshamn: the Reinforcement Team. We already have our first employee in place and are now seeking two skilled generalists – social workers with broad experience who love variety and can quickly get up to speed in new areas where needs are greatest. Here you'll have the chance to broaden your expertise across all the department's areas, drive development, and make a significant difference where it's needed most. Does this sound like your next step? Then we need you! Welcome to our Reinforcement Team at the Social Services Department. Job Responsibilities As part of our new Reinforcement Team, you'll become a key resource for the entire department. Instead of working for a specific unit, you'll step in as an expert resource and strengthen different work groups during temporary vacancies, sick leave, or peak periods. Your focus is on public administration tasks: handling applications, investigations, decisions, and follow-ups. Each assignment gives you a unique insight into different operations. You'll move between areas such as intake, children and youth, adults (financial assistance, substance abuse/addiction, housing and intimate partner violence), and elderly and persons with disabilities. For this reason, it's a significant advantage if you already have broad expertise in legislation such as SoL, LSS, LVU, LVM, or family law. When you're on an assignment, you'll be supervised by the business unit's group manager. However, your fixed base and security is with the Financial Assistance and Adults unit, where you'll be part of a group of three case workers reporting directly to the unit manager. Since these are brand new positions, you'll help shape how the team works, and over time there are good opportunities to lead strategic projects within the department. About the Workplace The Social Services Department's main mission in Nynäshamn Municipality is to offer individually adapted support and services throughout all stages of life. What sets us apart is our size and our unique culture. We're large enough to drive digital development and offer real career paths. At the same time, we're small enough that you'll quickly get to know the entire organization and build an enormous network. The Reinforcement Team is being created because we want to phase out external consultants and instead invest long-term in our own staff. The idea is that the three of you on the team complement each other. You don't need to know everything from day one; you'll build and develop your broad generalist expertise together based on the department's needs. The Challenge and the Upside: The biggest challenge in this role is what makes it so exciting: being able to quickly adjust and move into different work groups for shorter periods. Your closest community will be your own small team of three people. If you thrive on variety, enjoy meeting new colleagues, and want a flexible working life in the municipal sector – then you'll thrive with us. What We're Looking For To succeed in this role, you have: - A degree in social work (socionomexamen) - At least 5 years of work experience in public administration - Strong knowledge of the Social Services Act (SoL) - Strong knowledge of the Lifecare management system - Good knowledge of and appreciation for teamwork or family-oriented working methods - A valid driver's license (Class B) It's a merit if you have: - Training in the department's areas of operation - Experience working as a consultant - Strong knowledge in multiple areas of the department's operations - Strong knowledge of special legislation such as LVU, LVM, LSS, and legislation regarding family law - Good knowledge of BBIC, IBIC, Instrument X, and Signs of Safety Personal Qualities We're Looking For To thrive in the Reinforcement Team, you appreciate a dynamic workday. You adapt easily to new circumstances, can quickly shift perspective, and see opportunities in change. As you move into different work groups, you need to be able to plan, organize, and prioritize your work efficiently. We're seeking someone who takes responsibility for their tasks, structures their approach, and drives their processes forward. At the same time, you bring a positive attitude to the assignment. You act in accordance with shared goals and guidelines, and have the professional maturity to raise concerns in the right setting and with the right people. Because you'll become an important resource for the entire department, you'll constantly meet new people in your work. This requires you to work well with others and relate to colleagues in a receptive and flexible way. You listen actively, communicate clearly, and handle challenges constructively. In interactions with both colleagues and community members, you're always calm, attentive, and accommodating. You have a genuine interest and willingness to help others, and you gladly make an effort to deliver good solutions where they're needed most. What We Offer You With us, you'll make a difference in people's lives. Here you have close access to your manager and colleagues, influence, and decision-making. Nynäshamn is a calm and secure municipality. Security also exists in our teams – we're unpretentious, we encourage and support each other when needed. Nynäshamn Municipality is part of Sweden's strongest growth region. Our journey offers you opportunities for challenges and varied work tasks. We offer access to a gym. You'll also receive wellness hours or a wellness allowance. You have the option of swapping vacation and pension time. We have an active employee association where you can rent cabins in the mountains and archipelago. You can also participate in various activities such as padel, kayaking, and horseback riding.

Our Recruitment Process We use continuous selection and a competency-based recruitment method for a fair and objective assessment. Diversity is an asset, and we welcome all applicants. Nynäshamn Municipality has chosen to eliminate the personal letter and replaced it with selection questions that are relevant to the position. Your answers to the selection questions and your CV will be the basis for determining whether you're qualified to move forward in the process. This position requires a criminal record check (belastningsregistret). We look forward to your application and hope you'll become part of our team!
