WORK DUTIES
As a preventive social worker, you work in close collaboration with schools in Katrineholm Municipality, and a large part of your working time will be spent at the schools. With an expansion of the operation, you will provide support to all schools in the municipality. The assignment also includes broadening preventive work and further strengthening collaboration with both the police and community organizations. Internal collaboration is of great importance because we represent the social service's collective mission and need to act in a coordinated manner to provide children, youth, and their families with the right support at the right time.
Work at the schools consists of authority functions, support conversations with children and youth, and support for their parents. You work closely with the social service reception, SSPF coordinators, and field assistants, and have close collaboration with school principals, educators, and counselors. The role includes providing early support to children, youth, and their families so they quickly gain access to services without needs assessment, IUB.
As part of the preventive assignment, you also work as SSPF coordinators, which means you are responsible for coordination when there is early concern about norm-breaking behavior. During school breaks, when regular operations slow down, you support the social service reception and participate in field work with youth field workers as needed. Work is primarily conducted during daytime hours, but evening shifts occur.
QUALIFICATIONS
We seek someone with a degree in social work and experience in authority functions within individual and family care with a focus on children and youth. You have good knowledge of current legislation. Furthermore, the position requires that you have a good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish. It is meritorious if you also have experience in treatment work within individual and family care directed at children and youth. It is desirable that you have experience working according to Signs of Safety, which is an approach we have chosen to work with throughout the Children and Youth Department. B-class driving license for manual transmission is a requirement as you will use a car in the service.
As a person, you are confident and stable with self-awareness. You have the ability to shift focus with short notice and adjust your planning, as situations can change quickly. Since in your role you will be a link between social services and schools, it is important that you have the ability to collaborate with other people and that you are outgoing and socially active in professional relationships. You are expected to work independently and flexibly based on children and youth's needs within the framework of the Social Services Act.
