Are you our new colleague?
We are expanding our team to meet the new activity requirement that takes effect on July 1st. We are therefore seeking an additional engaged, curious, and confident social secretary who wants to work with us.
We offer you a stimulating assignment based on actively working with change initiatives at both individual and organizational levels in a work group with high staffing levels, extensive experience, and a positive work culture. As a new employee, you will receive thorough onboarding over approximately two years, which includes mentoring support from two experienced colleagues, providing excellent opportunities to further develop your skills.
We work with MI and Instrument X according to the MIX method, which you will receive training on if you haven't already. We will also be undergoing training in BIP, which we will use as well. As an employee with us, you will also receive supervision.
Your Work Tasks
Within the Support Services Department, we work with a focus on self-sufficiency and employment, work, and education. As a social secretary, you are a process leader in your cases and collaborate both internally and externally. With us, two social secretaries always work together on each case, and we hold case conferences every week where we guide and learn from each other.
We are seeking someone who wants to actively work with change initiatives at both individual and organizational levels.
Your tasks consist of case handling, investigation, and decision-making within economic assistance and interventions, support, motivation work, and collaboration with individuals, colleagues, and partners.
Supervising students in the profession and mentoring newly hired colleagues may periodically become relevant and form part of your regular work tasks.
Your Qualifications
We are seeking someone with a degree in social work (socionom) or alternatively a social pedagogy degree (180 higher education credits). Experience in this field is meritorious, but if you are newly graduated, that is not a barrier.

To succeed and thrive in the role, you must be able to work independently, be flexible, and have the ability to quickly adapt to changes in the organization.
