1 position(s). Work Unit and Workplace Description The Intimate Partner Violence Unit is part of IFO Adult Support within the Employment and Social Services Administration in Falun. Our team currently consists of four social workers, five counselors, one group leader, and one unit manager. Our workplace is centrally located in Falun in excellent facilities. Job Duties As a social worker with us, you will work with both victims and perpetrators of intimate partner violence. Your responsibilities include conducting risk assessments, establishing and following up on risk management plans, investigating needs, making decisions, and ensuring decisions are implemented. You are also responsible for documentation and follow-up of decisions and any protective placements. The work involves close collaboration with other social services units, the regional health authority, police, women's shelters, and other relevant partners. In the unit, we work in close cooperation between counselors, service providers, and social workers.

You work in a structured manner and are good at organizing and prioritizing your work, while remaining flexible and able to adapt to both clients' needs and the unit's development work. The role requires you to be collaboration-oriented and comfortable working closely with both internal and external partners. You actively contribute to an open and learning work environment where people support each other and share knowledge. Since the unit will work more outreach-oriented in the future, it is also valuable if you feel comfortable meeting with residents in various contexts and can represent the organization in an engaged and professional manner.
