Description As an employee in Gislaveds Municipality, you are a co-creator in your workplace.

For us, respect for differences and the equal value of all people are fundamental. The Authority Unit for Adults and Functional Support works with administrative authority for target groups including functional support, harmful use and addiction, intimate partner violence, comorbidity, social psychiatry, and reception for adults/functional support as well as children and youth. We can offer challenging and developmental work tasks together with us. We are 1 unit manager, 2 group leaders, and 17 social secretaries. The unit is divided into 3 teams: harmful use and addiction/intimate partner violence, LSS/Social Psychiatry, and a reception group. The teams have regular meetings together with group leaders. The teams also have access to external supervision. As an employee, there is the opportunity for competence development based on needs. Work Tasks As a social secretary in functional support, you work with administrative authority within LSS legislation and the Social Services Act (SoL). The target group you will primarily work with is children and adults within LSS. The work involves meeting with the individual to investigate, assess, and make decisions about services as well as conduct follow-up work. The assignment involves ensuring equivalent and legally sound handling with a focus on the individual's influence and participation. The work is based on a holistic perspective for the individual, and we collaborate on this basis with the individual's network, other authorities, and organizations. The work includes working both independently and in teams. The focus of the position may be adjusted based on changing needs in the target group. Qualifications We are looking for someone who has a degree in social work or other equivalent academic education where you have studied social law. We would prefer that you have experience with administrative authority within LSS, but also SoL. You preferably have experience working in the business systems Combine, Cosmic Link, and the investigation method IBIC. Since travel is part of the position, you need to have a Class B driver's license. You have a genuine desire to make a difference in people's lives. You have good collaboration skills, are well-organized, and actively contribute to creating joy and well-being in the work team. Your manner of interaction is trustworthy and respectful. You are prepared for varied and challenging work that requires the ability to reprioritize based on incoming work tasks. We place great importance on your personal suitability. Your role as a co-worker is deeply connected to your ability to collaborate and participate in your own and the organization's development. For us, this means you have good collaboration with your manager and colleagues, both in your own workplace and in the rest of the municipal organization. You treat everyone with high service standards, friendliness, and high quality through customer and service focus. You take responsibility for being involved in operational matters and are solution-oriented. We place great importance on personal suitability and that your view of being a co-worker aligns with ours. We apply background checks (extract from the criminal record register) as a form of suitability assessment for all who are offered employment in operations where there is direct and regular contact with children and youth. Do you want to be part of our success? We welcome your application! In Gislaveds Municipality, full-time employment is a right, and therefore vacant positions* are advertised on a full-time basis. When operations can accommodate part-time work, it is of course a possibility. *Positions that are shorter than 3 months as well as certain positions may be exempted. In preparation for the recruitment process, Gislaveds Municipality has taken a position on recruitment channels and marketing. We therefore firmly decline contact from media sales representatives, job sites, and similar.
