Your Responsibilities
Social Services Skäggetorp consists of approximately 24 employees. Here, social secretaries for municipal authority and open care work closely together and share office space.
We are now expanding the team and seeking a social secretary for investigations and follow-up.
At Social Services Skäggetorp, we operate our own reception and follow our cases if investigations and follow-up are needed. The work involves conducting preliminary assessments, investigation work, and follow-up of interventions according to social services legislation (SoL and LVU) for children and young people aged 0-20 years. We typically conduct our preliminary assessments together with a social secretary from open care to be able to offer early interventions. We offer service interventions to a large extent.
The work as a social secretary in Skäggetorp also involves working broadly in the residential area at individual, group, and structural levels. The focus is on early interventions for children and families, and based on this, special collaboration with, for example, preschools and schools in the area, family centers, as well as culture and leisure is required.
Perhaps the most important responsibility of the social secretary is to create a good and trusting relationship with the child/young person and their family. As a social secretary, you will follow the same child over a longer period, which provides good opportunities to positively influence the child's life situation. You will meet children, young people, and families in vulnerable situations, where no two days are the same. It is a challenging, rewarding, and important job where you get a chance to make a difference.
Social Services Skäggetorp has a shared mission to meet residents' needs for support and care. Do you dare to try new ideas, methods, and ways of working while striving to provide a high level of service to our residents? Then you may get the opportunity to help shape and develop social services in Skäggetorp.
Your Workplace

The department also provides various open care services for both children and adults.
We also collaborate extensively with other departments within the Social Administration, primarily with the Children and Young People department, where the remaining parts of municipal authority work take place and where certain open care and other services are also provided, such as our supported housing.
