You conduct safety assessments and preliminary assessments and propose decisions about whether to initiate investigations or not
You write focused decision documents and provide statements on specific matters at the request of other authorities
You have daily collaboration with both colleagues and your team leader
Who We Are
We at IFO Children and Family are a wonderful workplace where we develop and learn from each other. We take responsibility together, help each other in everyday work where both laughter and seriousness have their place. We are just over 15 employees working together in two teams. We have close collegial support for each other and support from our team leaders. We work according to the Signs of Safety approach, believe in people's inherent will and ability to change, and enjoy working together with clients' networks. We also have close cooperation with our colleagues on both the adult side and in open care services, based on the motto "ONE social services."
We participate in the Professional Journey program and have access to external supervision. There is opportunity for flexible hours, reflection time, and remote work by agreement. We are a small municipality with a big heart.
Is This You?

We want you to:
Have a degree in social work and several years of experience with social services' official responsibilities involving children, young people, and families

Feel confident in case management and assessment and dare to independently propose decisions that are then made according to delegation
Have the ability to sense and meet people where they are and be flexible in your meetings, both in-person and on phone calls
Be comfortable meeting children and adults in crisis and can handle various types of situations
Have good knowledge of society's various functions and thus the ability to refer people to the right place for help
Have good knowledge of the Swedish language and communicate well in both speech and writing
Great weight will be placed on personal suitability.
