Borlänge kommun
The Social Services in Borlänge has had a Joint Reception for the past few years, where all cases from Borlänge residents are initially directed. The reception team is the hub of social services in the Borlänge municipality, where residents are approached as individuals from a holistic perspective, enabling us to understand the needs of Borlänge residents across unit boundaries. Initial decisions are made by the reception team, and cases are subsequently forwarded to investigative units for further assistance, support, and interventions.
The reception team consists of employees with expertise from all areas of social services, including addiction, financial assistance, VINR, as well as children, youth, and family services. The work is led by two senior social workers who are closely involved with the team. The unit's management structure also includes an assistant unit manager and a unit manager, along with a methodological support function within the organization.
The Joint Reception is part of the Reception and Prevention Unit (MFE). This unit includes, in addition to the reception, the Social Emergency Service Dalarna and Family Counseling, as well as several preventive and promotional activities that work with advice and support in open forms where administrative decisions are not required. All activities are in line with the focus areas of the new Social Services Act to create favorable conditions for our young citizens at an early stage.
We are now looking for someone who wants to be part of our team, has the desire to broaden their skills, share their knowledge, and contribute to the development of the operation, while meeting Borlänge residents where they are in order to guide them to the support and assistance they may need.
Borlänge municipality values all Borlänge residents we encounter in our daily work, as well as all our employees.
