WORK DUTIES We are now seeking a housing support worker for Social Services in the Support and Housing unit. This is a permanent full-time position with start date in January 2027. Social Services is the municipality's housing support operation within social psychiatry, LSS (Act Concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments), and comorbidity. The operation serves individuals with complex life situations where mental health issues, comorbidity, substance abuse problems, varying cognitive abilities, social vulnerability, and difficulties managing daily life may be part of their support needs. The work is based on support decisions, implementation plans, and the individual's own goals. We are in a development phase where we want to strengthen the municipality's family-centered approach to work. The work should be based on a systems theory perspective, where the individual's situation is understood in interaction with the contexts they are part of. This can include children and parenthood, but also family members, networks, contact with authorities, and other important parts of the life situation. Family-centered work is thus not limited to family relationships in the narrow sense. The role includes both regular housing support within the entire Social Services operation and a special focus on cases where a family-centered perspective is needed. You will also contribute to developing working methods, procedures, and practical forms of support together with colleagues and management. The task is not family therapy. You need to maintain the practical and educational mission of housing support while understanding how mental health issues, comorbidity, substance abuse, lack of structure, or social vulnerability can affect daily life, parenthood, and children's situations. The goal is for the support to be comprehensible, coordinated, and useful for the individual and family. The work involves providing support in the individual's daily life, following up on goals and interventions, working with structure, motivation, participation and recovery, and documenting according to applicable procedures. The role also includes being a contact person, following up on implementation plans, and noting changed needs. You need to be able to work with clarifying pedagogy, low-arousal approaches, and individualized support. Collaboration is an important part of the task and occurs with, among others, outpatient care for risky use, harmful use and substance dependence, family therapists, and case managers within the adult area and child and youth services. Where needed, this also includes contact with, for example, healthcare, psychiatry, schools, substance abuse care, and rehabilitation services. QUALIFICATIONS We are seeking someone with an academic degree who is a behavioral scientist, social worker, or has another academic-level education that the employer deems equivalent. You have experience working with people in complex life situations and working in family systems and other complex systems. You need to be able to translate a systems theory perspective into practical, everyday support and understand how an individual's situation is affected by relationships, parenthood, networks, contact with authorities, and other actors. You are confident in client-oriented work and can translate goals from the implementation plan into concrete and comprehensible everyday support. You can maintain a professional approach even when multiple needs and actors need to be managed simultaneously or when situations change rapidly. We see that you have experience with systems theory and family-centered work, housing support, social psychiatry, LSS, and comorbidity. You have experience with documentation and record-keeping, good digital literacy, and good ability to express yourself in Swedish both orally and in writing. A B-class driver's license for manual transmission is a requirement and you need to be able to cycle as part of your work. It is meritorious to have knowledge in, for example, R-ACT/ACT, Case Management, MI, clarifying pedagogy, low-arousal approaches, children as next of kin, intimate partner violence, suicide prevention, IBIC, or conflict and crisis management. Knowledge of the Social Services Act is also meritorious. As a person, you are confident, responsible, and solution-focused. You are attentive in your interactions with others, have good communication skills, and contribute to good cooperation in the work team. You enjoy work where no two days are exactly alike and where you need to be able to adapt your support based on the individual, situation, and task. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability and interest in the target group. Start date: January 2027 Extent: 100% Employment form: Permanent employment Placement: Social Services, Support and Housing unit Working hours: Daytime, Monday - Friday The position is filled subject to necessary decisions being made. Employment form: Permanent employment. Duration: Indefinite.

We warmly welcome your application! In preparation for the recruitment process, Hammarö municipality has made decisions regarding recruitment channels and marketing.
