Do you want to be one of us who makes a difference? We work to ensure that people most in need of support in society get their needs met. Can you imagine a qualified assignment that combines law, economics, and human interaction? Then perhaps this year-long assignment as a Guardianship Case Handler is your next challenge?
Your responsibilities
The Guardianship Unit currently consists of 13 dedicated employees who work with guardianship matters for Halmstad, Hylte, Laholm, and Båstad municipalities. We exercise supervision over and provide good service in all representative positions, that is, guardians', administrators', and good men's assignments.
Our mission is to ensure that people who cannot protect their own rights get their needs met by a representative and that our representatives have the right conditions to carry out their assignments. Our target group includes both minors and elderly people, sick individuals, and people with disabilities. Our assignment also includes recruitment and training of volunteer good men and administrators.
At the Guardianship Office, we work on investigating the need for good men and administrators and on exercising supervision over good men and administrators, including by reviewing the execution of assignments. A large part of our supervision is conducted through review of financial management, which includes examination of financial statements and documentation. These reports must be reviewed within specific timeframes, which means that the operation periodically has high workload.
Right now we are in a development phase where our operation will undergo several changes due to changed legislation and changes in our assignment. To implement these changes, we need to strengthen our staffing for a period to handle our core assignment.
What we are looking for right now is someone who has an interest in working with supervision and case handling. You also need to have an interest in financial review and accounting. The work involves many contacts with both people in need of support from society, relatives of people needing help, and other authorities. It is therefore important that you enjoy meeting people and providing good service.
Your qualifications
We are looking for someone with a bachelor's degree or higher education in law, political science, social work, or another field the employer considers equivalent. We see that you have good ability to work independently and experience in financial accounting.
Part of our review takes place digitally, and to succeed in the work you therefore need to be used to using digital tools and systems in your work. You have experience of good cooperation with authorities in collaboration around our target groups. You also have good knowledge of the Swedish language and express yourself well in speech and writing.
If you have experience from previous work in guardianship or social services, this is particularly meritorious. Knowledge of the Parental Code and administrative law is meritorious. As a person, you are a cheerful and considerate team player who is service-oriented and confident in your competence.
You always put the people we exist for first and are thorough and structured in your work. Since our work is driven by incoming cases, workload can vary and shift, which means that the day doesn't always go as you planned. It is therefore important that you have the ability to quickly make priorities and reprioritizations on a daily basis.
We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
