Do you have a passion for creating a more inclusive and thriving future for our community within social services and care? Now you have the opportunity to be part of this work in the newly established Social and Care Administration in Katrineholm. The new administration works to create security and independence for people with special needs and their relatives. Through our daily work, we make a real difference in people's lives and contribute to building a more inclusive and thriving society. If you are passionate about making a difference and want to help shape the future of social services and care, this is your chance to join us on this journey. We welcome you to apply and become part of our new administration. We are embarking on an exciting transformation journey as we adapt our organization in accordance with the new Social Services Act that came into effect on July 1, 2025. We are now looking for a social administrator for the Children and Youth department. As a social administrator, you will serve as a close support in collaboration with caseworkers and managers. With us, you will work in an environment where engagement, close collaboration, and development are at the forefront. We are a workplace that believes in growing together – both as an organization and as individuals. Here, ideas, curiosity, and a desire to contribute to creating a modern and sustainable social service are valued. In our daily work, we encounter complex issues and important decisions, but also many moments of joy, creative problem-solving, and collegial warmth. We are a small municipality with great opportunities. Our employees thrive, and we have an active well-being group that organizes everything from after-work events, celebrations, and everyday joy. Here, there is humor, care, and a culture where we help each other – both at work and outside of it. We welcome your application and invite you to become part of our solution-focused work with children and youth. JOB RESPONSIBILITIES The social administrator works closely with caseworkers and managers, and the role is distinctly different from a traditional administrative position. The focus is on relieving caseworkers of their tasks, which means that the social administrator actively contributes to social work rather than merely handling administrative routines. Examples of job responsibilities include: • Participating in certain client visits and taking notes. • Scheduling appointments and making calls on behalf of caseworkers. • Preparing documentation and statistics for managers for internal controls, self-assessments, and monthly reports. The social administrator supports both social workers and managers, helping to free up time for professional work by taking over parts of the administrative responsibilities that would otherwise fall on caseworkers. QUALIFICATIONS We are looking for someone with a degree as a social administrator, social worker, behavioral scientist, or another similar higher education qualification that we consider equivalent. It is important that you have good IT skills and knowledge of the Office suite. To succeed in this role, you should have experience in case handling and documentation within public administration, and therefore possess a good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish. We would prefer that you have experience working within social services and familiarity with the operational system Treserva. A valid driver's license is required as you will use a car for work purposes. As a person, you are flexible and able to adapt to different tasks and situations. Furthermore, you are self-motivated and take responsibility for your work. You enjoy collaborating with colleagues and are eager to share your knowledge and experiences. You are approachable in your interactions with other employees and have a willingness to help and deliver solutions.
