WORK DUTIES
We are now looking for a social secretary for the Children and Family Unit with placement in the investigation group. The position becomes available as one of our social secretaries moves on to other assignments within the organization.
As a social secretary, you work with investigating the needs of children and families for support and protection. The work involves close collaboration with children, parents and other actors around the child. We believe in a social service that can act when needed and be present before problems have grown large. You therefore have the opportunity to work with public authority responsibilities while also helping to shape new working methods for a more accessible and preventive social service.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for someone with a degree in social work or another education that meets the legal requirements for handling matters within child and youth care. It is meritorious if you have previous experience with public authority responsibilities within social services. Since travel occurs in the work, a category B driver's license is a requirement.
To succeed and thrive in the role, we see that you are confident in your professional role, have good self-awareness and can handle complex and sometimes emotionally demanding situations with a calm and balanced approach. You are structured, work efficiently and have good ability to prioritize and drive your work forward, with a focus on quality and legal certainty. You are flexible and can adapt when conditions change, while also taking your own initiative and driving development forward.
You enjoy meeting and talking with children and young people and have the ability to adapt your communication to the child's age and maturity. You build trusting professional relationships and have an unpretentious and respectful approach in your collaboration with others. You work independently and take responsibility for your tasks, but also recognize when collaboration and support from colleagues is needed.
