Social Worker for Intake and Adult Social Services in Hisingen

About the Reception and Adult Social Services Unit We are growing and are now seeking an engaged and confident social worker for the Functional Support Reception on Hisingen! Our unit is divided into two work groups: Adult Social Services, responsible for handling cases for adults who need help and support according to the Social Services Act (SoL), and the Reception, responsible for receiving all new cases for the authority within the city area. Currently, 5 social workers work in the reception and 8 social workers in the Adult Social Services investigation group. We are growing and will now expand our reception with an additional social worker. We are an engaged group who enjoy working together and value cooperation, care, and structure in our daily work. There is a strong collegial spirit and a desire to develop together. The Hisingen City Area consists of five administrative units, with the Reception and Adult Social Services being one of them. The unit is located at Rimmaregatan 6. Reception Duties The reception is the hub of the operation and often the first point of contact for our citizens with the Functional Support Administration. Here we receive new applications, make initial assessments, and ensure each case is directed correctly. The reception investigates cases requiring quick processing, such as hospital discharge planning. The work involves providing information and guidance, assessing conditions for assistance or interventions, and referring to the appropriate case worker or service. You need comprehensive knowledge of both the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Support and Service Act for Certain Functionally Impaired Persons (LSS). You will meet individuals with mental, neuropsychiatric, physical, and intellectual disabilities and their networks, which requires good interpersonal skills, respect, and understanding of various life situations. It is important that you enjoy close group collaboration and have a flexible approach, as days can quickly change and require reprioritization. We work with a solution-focused and holistic perspective to meet individual needs. The pace can be high, but you will always have support from colleagues and a lead social worker for methodological support and advice. With us, you will have a stimulating and responsible job with opportunities to influence and access to method and process supervision. A good work environment, introduction, and skills development are important to us. A lead social worker works specifically with the reception, and you will also be assigned a mentor to support you during the introduction. Warm welcome with your application! Qualifications We are seeking someone with a social work degree or another higher education that the employer deems equivalent. You should be well-versed in case management under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Support and Service Act for Certain Functionally Impaired Persons (LSS). As the position involves administrative work, you need excellent Swedish language skills in both verbal and written communication. Experience in administrative work involving investigations, assessments, and implementation of decisions is meritorious. Experience with documentation in operational systems like IBIC/Treserva/SAMSA is also desirable. In your professional role, you demonstrate respect and consideration for those you encounter. You have an open and positive attitude, with the user's/client's needs as the starting point for your actions. You take responsibility for your own and shared tasks and take your duties seriously. At the same time, you are easy to collaborate with. You plan activities and projects in advance, use time efficiently, and work systematically, organized, and methodically, ensuring tasks are completed. Simultaneously, you thrive in an environment where no two days are alike and where the pace can vary, with the ability to balance different requirements while maintaining calm in challenging situations.
