Social Worker - Financial Assistance

Strömstad Municipality is a small and close-knit organization where everyone is important and works together to deliver the best possible service. Within the social administration, we work together to enable people to live independent, secure, and meaningful lives based on their own circumstances. Every day, we create security, quality of life, and service for those we serve. The social administration is in an important development phase. We are facing major changes related to the new social services act, the transition to Good and Nearby Care, and growing demand for support, care, and services. To succeed, we need to develop our working methods, use our resources wisely, and at the same time uphold quality, legal security, and trust. Within financial assistance, our main mission is to support individuals in achieving self-sufficiency through employment or studies. As a smaller unit, you will have a broad and varied role as a social worker. The unit also includes the employment office and integration services. Financial assistance collaborates with the employment office, and our common goal is to create an efficient and cohesive path to self-sufficiency—where each individual receives the right support. We work closely together with shared goals and place great emphasis on collaboration between the different parts of the unit. We are now seeking a dedicated social worker who can strengthen our team and make a difference as one of our social workers moves on to other tasks. 1 position(s).
