Vallentuna Municipality has the courage to lead the way. Our ambition is to be at the forefront when it comes to innovative solutions, smart working methods, and an efficient organization. As a leader, you play an important role in this development work. Vallentuna as a workplace is characterized by consensus between politics and operations, where the common interest and responsibility for Vallentuna's best shines through. Responsiveness, accessibility, and customer focus are important in our work for good results and improved quality. Commitment, collaboration, and equal value for all should permeate our organization. As an applicant, you should naturally share our common values. About the operation: The Child and Family Unit is part of Vallentuna Municipality's Social Services Department. Within the Social Services Department, approximately 550 employees work on the mission to provide preventive and supportive services within social services, healthcare, and care. The Child and Family Unit is responsible for authority management regarding children and young people (SoL and LVU). The unit includes a reception group, a children's group (0-12) and a youth group (13-20). All groups are led by a group manager who works closely with the unit manager to create a sustainable and high-quality operation. The Child and Family Unit consists of engaged employees, most of whom have many years of experience working with the target group. Our vision is to be a social service that children, families, and partner organizations trust, where every encounter is characterized by respect, participation, and high quality. We want to be a workplace that engaged employees seek out and remain in. We are now seeking a group manager for our children's unit. The children's group consists of eight social workers who investigate and follow up interventions for children aged 0-12, a social worker for placed children, two specialist social workers, and a social administrator. The group works well together, helps each other, and supports one another. They describe themselves as a group where job satisfaction, helpfulness, and collaboration take up a large part. This is also noted repeatedly in the results of the annual employee survey. The group has strong commitment to children's rights issues and actively works with various goal-oriented activities that contribute to the unit's development. We are in an exciting development phase where operations are being adapted to the new Social Services Act. In the new organization, the Child and Family Unit will become a separate department together with the Social Emergency Services Northeast. The current unit manager will transition to the role of department manager, and the group manager position will take the title of unit manager. Responsibilities and tasks remain largely the same as today, which provides stable conditions while giving you the opportunity to help shape the social services of the future.
