Municipality residents in need of social services can receive advice, support, and assistance. In most cases, our assistance and interventions are provided following an individual assessment as part of our statutory duties.

Individual and Family Care (IFO) in Nybro Municipality consists of the operational areas Adults and Children and Families. The Children and Families operational area is now seeking a colleague for the investigation team within the Unit for Statutory Duties! The guiding star within the IFO Children and Families operational area in Nybro Municipality is to be able to offer the children and young people and their families we meet the best possible support. We strive for goal- and results-driven activities, and for us, good interaction and compliance with applicable legal requirements are the highest priority. One of the overarching goals within the activities is that children and young people, to the extent possible, should be given the opportunity to live and grow up together with their family, or alternatively be reunited with their origins in other ways. The direction of the activities is based on systems theory with the child's best interests in focus, where we strive to find alternative solutions in close cooperation with families and their networks. However, the activities have an explicit responsibility to support and protect children and young people who need protection for shorter or longer periods and may need to be placed outside their homes. 1 position(s).
