JOB DESCRIPTION
We are looking for a social worker who enjoys the breadth of social work. In our reception unit, we work to create positive first encounters. We provide advice and support and focus heavily on information, collaboration, and being easily accessible. It is important for us that social work occurs where it is needed and that we contribute with information and knowledge, as well as facilitate the conditions for reports, applications, and the work of social services. We receive concerns and requests for support for both adults and children and are the first point of contact for social services' authority but can also refer directly to our open care or other instances when deemed more appropriate. We also provide LUL statements, participate in police interviews, and are responsible for youth services. Occasionally, we also have the opportunity to confirm simple paternity cases.
Currently, we are facing many changes with a new social services law where we want to be an important part of the preventive and early work. Together with you, we will work to create a social service and reception that engages and provides knowledge that reaches people in a timely manner, before we are needed.
QUALIFICATIONS
You enjoy broad social work and meeting and collaborating with people. You want to work early and have the ability to see opportunities. You have experience in authority work and are confident in the possibilities of social services, where experience in authority work with children and youth, adults, and domestic violence is relevant. You can speak in front of others and clarify the work of social services. You understand relational patterns and have the ability to meet people calmly and create good relationships and collaborations. It is advantageous if you have training in BBIC, solution-focused conversation methods, evidence-based training, as well as experience in children's conversations and child/youth groups. It is also beneficial if you have knowledge of child and youth development, substance abuse, and various social challenges. You need to understand both the perspectives of children and youth and the conditions in which our citizens live.
As a person, you are self-assured, curious, proactive, and have a strong interest in social work. You stay updated on the conditions of legislation where we now have changing opportunities. You must be able to express yourself well in both speech and writing and have good communicative skills. You can establish and maintain good relationships and create collaborative platforms.
A driver's license is required.
