Stockholm – our capital with millions of dreams, expectations and ambitions. We work for everyone who lives here today and in the future. Now we're looking for you who want to think big, new and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.
Welcome to Economic Assistance
The Economic Assistance area is divided into five units, including one intake unit and four investigation units. The individual is at the center and we work together but with different parts of the case handling. Economic handlers work with the economic investigation and social secretaries work with the social investigation, planning for the individual, and make decisions about economic assistance.
What We Offer
With us, you'll participate in a structured onboarding program for new employees, which is followed up for six months by the group leader, mentor and unit manager. We offer continuous professional development, including training in MI, assessment methods such as Initial Assessment and FIA, basic training in economic assistance, and knowledge about neuropsychiatric disabilities. All units have external supervision once a month. Within the economic assistance area, there are also various working groups where you have the opportunity to participate and influence the development of the operations.
You have a unit manager and group leader who are there to support you and your colleagues, and who also lead and distribute the daily work. Here we care for and support each other, and we value our differences.
As an employee with us, you receive a wellness allowance and the opportunity to take advantage of favorable offers at several gym chains and swimming halls. Please read more about our benefits here.
Your Role
As a social secretary in our economic assistance unit, you have a dual assignment: you work to help people resolve their livelihood problems and to assess the right to assistance in the meantime. The work includes investigation and handling of economic assistance as well as social motivation and change work.
We at Järva District Administration put the client at the center and always try to create a good alliance with a focus on individual planning for each client. We have a varied client group at different stages of becoming self-sufficient. Your role as social secretary is to work with the client to create a plan that motivates and moves them forward in the process toward self-sufficiency. To assist you, in addition to dedicated leaders and colleagues, we have collaboration partners such as the Swedish Public Employment Service and Job Center, substance abuse care, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, LSS, healthcare and psychiatry.
As a social secretary in one of our investigation teams, you are responsible for your own client group. You have good opportunities to set up your own monthly schedule in a way that works for you, so that you can meet your clients regularly, follow up on their planning and handle their applications on time. Your work contributes to ensuring legally sound assessments are made and that clients receive the support they need.
Your Competence and Experience
We're looking for you who have:
A degree in social work.
It is meritorious if you have experience working within economic assistance.
To thrive with us, you are interested in working with people and treat others with respect. You are goal and results-oriented, engaged and structured. Client progress toward self-sufficiency is important to you, as is making legally sound assessments.
You show interest in your work area and plan and organize your work in an efficient and thorough manner. You are humble in your assignment and aware of both the opportunities and limitations that the delegation entails. You have good collaboration skills and are motivated by finding solutions together with the client. You are relationship-building in your approach, both with clients and collaboration partners, and contribute to good cooperation. We also believe that you are flexible and can adapt to changing circumstances, something that is valuable in our constantly developing work.
If you find it stimulating to find new paths to self-sufficiency for our clients and at the same time have a structured working method, we believe that the role of social secretary might suit you.
