ABOUT THE JOB
We are now seeking a social secretary to handle cases within elderly care (benefits administration) as a colleague is moving forward within the organization.
In the government care services unit, everyone works together as a team, where we support and help each other with different cases. Our goal is to help elderly people and persons with disabilities get their needs and rights met. We value a good collaborative climate and a good work environment, and are now seeking a colleague who shares the same approach as us.
As a social secretary (formerly benefits administrator), you investigate and make decisions on interventions based on current legislation. With us, you will work with cases within elderly care. You follow current guidelines and procedures and are responsible for conducting investigations in a legally sound manner, making decisions, and sending orders to service providers. The work also includes follow-up and reconsideration of previously decided interventions.
YOUR PROFILE
We believe in the right competence in the right place.
We are primarily seeking you if you are trained as a social worker or behavioral scientist, but if you are near the end of your studies you are also welcome to apply. We believe that experience in government administration is an advantage, but not a requirement. If you have previous work experience in elderly care in some form, we see that as a merit. A B-level driver's license and driving experience are a requirement for the position.
As a person, you share our vision of achieving results together. You see the work team as an asset for competence and experience exchange, while having the ability to take responsibility for and drive your cases forward. With us, we support each other where needed, which requires that you can adapt your work and prioritize according to current circumstances. You have a positive attitude that is contagious to those around you, and you see possibilities in people's circumstances to develop. To be successful in the role of social secretary, we believe you enjoy administrative tasks and have the ability to understand and work with digital systems. Experience with the LifeCare management system is a merit. We are a values-driven organization and want your treatment of others and actions to align with our values—Compassion, Together, and Drive. Great emphasis will therefore be placed on personal suitability.
