Social Secretary to Follow-up Unit

Skövde kommun · Full-time

Fredsgatan 4 , Skövde, Sweden

Welcome to help shape the future of social services where we work together with the needs of community residents in focus! Within our operations, we meet all ages, including children, young people, parents, persons with harmful use or addiction, social psychiatric functional impairments, victims of violence, and persons in need of maintenance support. We work with authority functions, needs-assessed interventions, as well as preventive and advisory services to reach people early. We are facing a change where the social services sector and the health and care sector will merge into a new combined sector, the welfare sector. The purpose is to create better conditions to meet future needs and challenges through strengthened collaboration, more secure competency supply, and more comprehensive support to residents. Work on the new organization is ongoing and may result in changes to department and unit divisions in the coming period. 1 position(s).
