Description
The Social Services Office in Norberg is seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable school social worker. In the fall of 2024, a school social team was launched as a project for collaboration between school and social services to identify students with problematic school absenteeism. In addition to representatives from the school, the team includes a social worker from Social Services. The school social worker has an outreach and treatment role with a focus on motivating early interventions for children, youth, and their families.
As a school social worker, you work actively both at school and at the social services' open care. You participate in joint workplace meetings, supervision and guidance at social services, while also attending student health meetings. The team at the social services office consists of three social secretaries, one youth case worker, one foster care secretary, one intake secretary, and three family therapists. As a school social worker, you work closely with the intake secretary and family therapists to serve as a bridge to early parenting support.
Job Responsibilities
The school social worker role is based on both preventive/outreach work and direct client-facing work with needs assessment and targeted interventions. You work with families before they become subject to official authority. As a school social worker, you are responsible for receiving individuals into the school social team and mapping together with the family what interventions the family and child may need. You participate in support provided both through open care and at school and serve as a coordinating function between these, and collaboration with other actors such as Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Habilitation may also be relevant.
In Norberg Municipality, children, youth, and their families are offered interventions without needs assessment. This means that individual support and group activities can be provided based on the individual seeking support directly from open care.
Qualifications
You collaborate well with others and contribute to good cooperation with both internal and external stakeholders. You have a solution-focused approach and work family-oriented so that children and their families have access to early interventions. You work evidence-based and use methods to provide quality support to families in Norberg.
A degree as a social worker is required; however, great value is placed on personal suitability. Meriting is experience working in open care and especially treatment and method-based work with children and youth.
As an employee in Norberg Municipality, you have access to:
- Flexible hours
- Wellness allowance
- External supervision
- Vacation exchange
