About the role and your responsibilities
The foster care service is part of the Labor Market and Social Administration and consists of 11 foster care caseworkers, one administrator, one senior social worker, and one unit manager.
We are currently undergoing an exciting development where we are strengthening the foster care service through an increase in resources both in direct management and within the workgroup, as well as through targeted investments in several areas to further enhance support for the child, the foster home, and the biological parents. The development work is conducted systematically and in close collaboration with adjacent units within the operational area and in other departments, as well as with support functions such as development secretaries and HR partners. This ensures a qualitative and sustainable development that benefits the organization, employees, and the children and families we serve.
We are now seeking a senior social worker who can contribute their knowledge and commitment to our ongoing work.
