Furthermore, you have a good ability to collaborate with different stakeholders and can work both independently and as part of a team while also providing leadership. You inspire great confidence in others, remain calm and stable in stressful situations, and have the ability to stay motivated and effective despite setbacks. Since this role can involve shifts in your workday based on incoming reports and safety assessments, it is particularly important that you are flexible and have the ability to adapt to new assignments. You should have a degree in social work or meet eligibility requirements with another relevant education of at least 180 higher education credits and have studied social law, administrative law, psychology, and social work. For social work studies, the difficulty level should also increase stepwise. Experience in handling child and youth social care cases is a requirement. Documentation and communication are major parts of our work, so you need to be able to express yourself very well in both speech and writing in Swedish. Training in BBIC is a requirement. Training in Signs of Safety is meritorious. A category B driver's license is a requirement. Since you will be working with children and young people, as you become relevant for the position, you must be able to provide an extract from the police's criminal record register.
