We work with the entire case-handling process from when an investigation is initiated to decisions and follow-up on interventions. The work includes investigations according to current legislation where the best interests of the child always come first. This means identifying needs, compiling decision-making materials, making decisions, and following up on interventions both in open care and in placements in residential care homes, supported housing, or foster families. You will encounter both short, acute cases and long-term processes where the need for security and support is more extensive.

With us, you have great freedom to plan and structure your workday, while being part of a team where collaboration and support from colleagues, management, and your unit manager is a given. We work together to maintain high quality with a focus on legal certainty, children's right to participation, and professional conduct. Qualifications We are looking for someone who is educated as a social worker or has another university degree that the employer deems equivalent, in accordance with current regulations.
