Do you have the courage to lead the way and create a Vallentuna where people and ideas flourish? Do you want to work in an investigation team with a clear focus on children? We are now seeking two experienced social workers for the child team.
Vallentuna Municipality has the courage to lead the way. Our ambition is to be at the forefront when it comes to innovative solutions, smart working methods, and an efficient organization. As an employee, you play an important role in our development work. The municipality as a workplace is characterized by a consensus between politics and operations, where the common interest and responsibility for Vallentuna's best shines through. Interaction, accessibility, and customer focus are important in our work for good results and increased quality.
Commitment, collaboration, and the equal value of all should permeate our organization. As an applicant, you should naturally share our common values.
About the operation:
As one of our employees is going on parental leave and another employee is changing roles within the team, we are now seeking two social workers—one permanent position and one fixed-term position.
The Child and Family Unit consists of committed employees, most of whom have many years of experience working with the target group. We have close management support, share responsibility, and help each other across team boundaries. The vision for the Child and Family Unit is to become the best at collaboration and to increase knowledge about social services work among municipal residents and partner organizations. The unit works largely based on the Signs of Safety approach, and in the fall, implementation of the iRisk model will begin. We are also affiliated with Yrkesresan.
The child team consists of nine social workers who investigate children aged 0-12, one social worker for placed children, two specialist social workers, and one social administrator. The team enjoys working together, helps each other, and supports one another, which is also regularly noted in the results of the annual employee survey. The team has a strong commitment to children's rights issues and actively works with various targeted activities that contribute to the unit's development.
As part of valuing balance between work and leisure, we offer the possibility of some remote work. On Mondays, we are open until 18:30, which means we finish at 15:00 on Fridays. The day before a public holiday is a half day, and we have low basic staffing during peak days. We offer flexible hours, external supervision, opportunities for vacation trading, wellness allowance or wellness hour, and free employee parking. The workplace is centrally located in Vallentuna, just a few minutes from Roslagsbanan and several bus lines. The municipality office is new and modern with opportunities for close collaboration with other units and departments.
Duties:
As a social worker in the child team, you work with investigating and assessing children and their families' needs for support and treatment services. Follow-up of approved services as well as collaboration with colleagues in other units, other authorities, and principal organizations are also a significant part of the job duties. We have close collaboration with our own open care, which offers several services, both needs-assessed and preventive.
Qualifications:
This position requires a social work degree.
Experience with and good knowledge of SoL and LVU.
You have good knowledge of Swedish in both speech and writing, as well as good documentation skills.
