Who are we?
The Social Office in Norrköping Municipality works to focus on individual needs and always prioritizes the best interests of children. We strive to make it easy to receive help, and our support and treatment initiatives maintain high quality and are based on legally secure assessments.
We aim to find solutions close to the individual and contribute to a positive change for them. Together, we want to create security and good social services for those of us living in Norrköping.
The authority exercise is part of the Social Office. We make decisions according to the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons (LSS).
We continue to grow and are now looking for several committed LSS caseworkers who want to be part of both the child and youth unit as well as the adult services.

The adult services consist of 20 LSS caseworkers and two senior LSS caseworkers, as well as three coordinators who coordinate service resources.

As an LSS caseworker, you will make decisions regarding interventions for individuals with various disabilities based on the LSS and SoL laws.
You will assess needs, make decisions, and regularly follow up on the decisions you have made. A significant part of the work involves collaboration with both internal and external partners.
We have many improvement initiatives underway, and you will play an important role in developing processes, routines, and collaboration. You will participate in network meetings based on the broad target group you work with.
There is an opportunity for remote work based on operational needs in consultation with the workgroup.
Who are you?
We are looking for someone with a degree in social work and theoretical knowledge of legislation and authority exercise.
We view experience in authority exercise according to LSS or SoL positively. You are accustomed to handling various systems and documenting your work.
You are attentive and adapt your communication style to the individual and target group you encounter, ensuring that they understand your information and message. You see collaboration with both internal and external partners as a natural part of your work.
You see opportunities in changes and can easily adapt and prioritize your work based on new circumstances. You have the ability to reflect and weigh complex information to make informed decisions based on this.
As a person, you are calm and stable in stressful situations, taking responsibility for your work, organizing, and prioritizing according to needs.
