You collaborate with police, schools, open care services, field assistants, and other key actors to find sustainable solutions. You'll be based in the children and youth unit with other social secretaries, but you'll also work in cross-professional teams. A day in this role is varied and eventful. You might be out in the field meeting with young people and building trust, conducting coordination meetings with schools and police, or conducting risk and safety assessments to ensure the right support is provided in time. You work both strategically and directly with young people, always focusing on strengthening their possibilities and preventing crime and exclusion. At the same time, you're an important part of developing our methods and shaping the future of social services in Avesta.

You come with ideas and initiate activities based on emerging needs. You also inspire confidence in others, remain calm and stable in pressing situations, and have the ability to stay motivated and effective despite setbacks. Since the role may involve adjustments to your day based on incoming reports and protection assessments, it's especially important that you're flexible and have the ability to adapt to new tasks. The role is primarily based during daytime hours, but evening work occurs regularly. Since we're building this work from the ground up, we'd like you to contribute your experience, creativity, and commitment to developing our methods and approaches. You should have a sociology degree, or you can meet the qualification requirements with another relevant education of at least 180 higher education credits, including studies in social law, administrative law, psychology, and social work. The social work studies should also have increased in difficulty progressively. Experience in handling cases within child and youth social care is a requirement.

Training in BBIC, Signs of Safety, and assessment methods such as ESTER or Savry are merits. A driver's license is a requirement. Since you'll be working with children and youth, you'll need to be able to provide a certificate from the police's criminal records registry.
