Social Secretary to the Reception Unit for Financial Assistance, Work and Livelihood, Huddinge Municipality The Work and Livelihood operation is part of the Secondary School and Labor Market Administration in Huddinge Municipality, which works with financial assistance and the municipality's labor market initiatives. We are now looking for a committed social secretary who focuses on individuals for our new applications team! With us, you have the opportunity to work in an operation where collaboration, development, and professional conduct are at the center. About the work The Reception Unit for Financial Assistance is organized into six teams: the reception team, the new applications team, case officers, the eviction prevention team, refugee reception/newly arrived immigrants, and administrators. The unit is led and supported by two experienced team leaders and a unit manager. The new applications team is responsible for taking over cases where the reception team has determined that there is a need for financial assistance. The team conducts new visits, writes initial investigations, and prepares calculations. Two case officers provide support in the work by compiling information once requested documents in the case have been received. As a case handler in the new applications team, you need to have a curiosity about individuals' circumstances in order to identify and capture areas requiring financial assistance support so that you can make decisions about the right to financial assistance in accordance with applicable legislation and guidelines. When the financial investigation is complete and the need for financial assistance is assessed as long-term, the case is transferred to the Planning Unit, which prepares plans toward self-sufficiency and handles ongoing monthly applications. The work requires careful checks and individual assessments based on individuals' circumstances, as well as cooperation internally and externally. It is important that users receive financial assistance on proper grounds and in a timely manner. The user must have done what they themselves can do to resolve their situation. We strongly believe in individuals' own ability and in strengthening it. About you We are looking for someone with a degree in social work and experience with financial assistance, preferably in both a reception and investigation function. The role requires you to be structured and goal-oriented to achieve a qualitative result together with users. You will meet individuals in different situations and with different circumstances, which means you need to be flexible and have good communication skills. There are work tasks that you have the opportunity to plan, but parts of the work are driven by acute needs, which requires you to be a person who is responsive, flexible, responsible, and can work both independently and in a team. At the same time, you need to be curious and have good collaboration skills. We place great emphasis on personal suitability. We offer developmentally meaningful work in a competent and experienced work group, a good introduction, internal and external supervision, and a pleasant work environment. Why Huddinge?
