Organized and Curious Social Worker for the Subsistence Support Reception Unit
About the Job We are now recruiting a social worker for the Subsistence Support Reception Unit. The unit is often the first point of contact for our clients, which means the social worker role at the reception involves many quick and sometimes brief meetings with clients. The work tasks are divided into three main areas: - Appointment scheduling - Initial visits and investigations - On-call services & guidance At appointment scheduling, we receive initial information about and from the client and either book them for an initial visit or guide them to other authorities. Initial visits and investigations are the first opportunity where we physically meet the client and gather all information and documentation we need to investigate eligibility for assistance and subsequently make decisions. On-call services involve receiving spontaneous and unplanned visits from clients who have not yet had their initial visit and been assigned a case manager but who have found themselves in an acute emergency situation regarding, for example, food or medication. Since we are often the first contact with social services, we frequently encounter various problematic situations among individuals or families and therefore work closely with other units. The role also includes providing information about social services to citizens and guiding them to other authorities such as the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, the Swedish Employment Agency, and the unemployment insurance fund. The role also involves being vigilant and acting if children in a family risk being harmed or if domestic violence is occurring.
