Read more about the Social Services Administration here: https://www.botkyrka.se/dinbastaarbetsplats The Position and Tasks Adult Reception is now seeking two social workers for the team, as two of our employees are planning parental leave in the fall. We offer a permanent position and a one-year temporary contract. As a social worker, you will be the first point of contact for adults, 18 years and older, in need of financial assistance. Adult Reception serves as an entry point for people who lack ongoing contact with social services. You are responsible for providing guidance on societal resources, directing people to the right services whether within our own municipality or external parties, and investigating entitlement to financial assistance. We also meet people who want to leave a criminal lifestyle and strive to be a more visible and accessible social service. The position involves great variety and requires good knowledge of society's support functions, such as social services, the regional health authority, other government agencies, and our local initiatives within the municipality – for example, Work and Employment. Work can take place outside the office in close cooperation with external partners. You will also collaborate with internal units within social services, Citizen Services, and the Health and Care Administration. A large part of your work is also preventative, catching small problems before they become larger. For complex cases, we work as a team, and you receive support from your senior social secretary who coaches you in your daily work. Your tasks include: • Conducting municipal residency investigations • Offering advice and support and motivating change and independence • Handling emergency and urgent applications for financial assistance as well as emergency placements in external temporary accommodations What We Offer You An exciting role where you become a key person and ambassador for Botkyrka's social services, representing us in meetings with citizens and collaborative partners and actively contributing to development work. At Adult Reception, you get to work alongside 21 engaged colleagues in a team characterized by collaboration, clear structure, and strong commitment. Adult Reception is a central and accessible entry point to social services where we offer financial assistance and interventions for harmful use/addiction, mental health issues, and in many cases, comorbidity. Our strength is a clear organization and close cooperation within the municipality and with external partners, creating effective and sustainable solutions for our residents. You receive support from experienced colleagues and have the opportunity to grow in your role, giving you the right conditions to develop and contribute to a safer everyday life for Botkyrka residents. About You You have a degree in social work or other relevant higher education, for example in social work, psychology, or sociology with elements of social law. Other requirements: • Experience working with financial assistance • Experience with current legislation, such as SOL and OSL, documented through relevant education or work experience • Experience using the LifeCare system • Experience in documenting and administering in social work, including writing investigations, decisions, and other communication with citizens and government agencies It is an advantage if you have experience from a financial assistance reception office. To succeed in your professional role, you need to be confident and have the ability to build trust in meetings with citizens – often in vulnerable and complex situations. You collaborate both internally with colleagues and with external partners, such as healthcare and correctional services, to ensure the right support and interventions for people in need. Together you work to find sustainable solutions, for example in emergency placements and investigations of municipal residency. You work in a structured and analytical manner in case management, documentation, and assessments, which allows you to prioritize and handle both urgent and planned tasks efficiently. Your thoroughness is evident in how you structure investigations, formulate clear analyses, and ensure that all important information is included. This leads to decisions that are legally sound and tailored to the individual's needs in cases of mental health issues and substance abuse. We look forward to your application!
