Welcome to make a difference in people's everyday lives every day! The Social and Labor Market Administration provides Mölndal residents with support, security, and new opportunities.

Together with other actors, we work toward a sustainable society with a strong focus on early intervention and prevention. We want to be a social service that is present where Mölndal residents are. The Adult Unit, which is part of the Social and Labor Market Administration, meets adult Mölndal residents with support needs related to harmful use and addiction, comorbidity, criminality, and other psychosocial issues. We are in an exciting development phase with the implementation of new social services legislation and the upcoming new comorbidity reform. The reform means responsibility for treatment transfers to the region, while the social services' mission is clarified regarding support, housing, and employment. The Adult Unit now has an open position as a social worker for the target group 25 years and older. We are looking for someone driven to work with this target group and who wants to help our clients achieve maximum independence and increase their empowerment. The Adult Unit works with both authority functions and service delivery and consists of approximately 30 employees. We currently have seven social workers working with the target group 25 years and older. Other unit members work in our reception function, with young adults (18-24 years), and with support and housing services. On the unit, we work closely together with close management consisting of two unit managers, two senior social workers, and a methodology supervisor. We have broad expertise and diverse backgrounds, but share strong commitment and good collegial support. We offer, among other things, external process supervision, gym access, flexible working hours, and a generous health and wellness allowance. 1 position(s).
