We are looking for an experienced/senior social worker in child and youth services.

Welcome to help shape the future of social services, where we will work together with the needs of the community in focus! Within our organization, we encounter all ages, including children, youth, parents, individuals with addiction issues, substance abuse or social psychiatric disabilities, victims of violence, and those in need of financial support. We engage in authority exercises, assessed assistance measures, as well as preventive and advisory actions to reach individuals early. Our organization is transitioning to a first-line social service with a single entry point for citizens, meaning that all cases are initially handled by a new joint reception unit. Subsequently, investigations and further actions are conducted in a second line. This approach aims to make social services more accessible and efficient for everyone in need of support. Collaboration is a central part of our working method as we recognize the importance of supporting each other to achieve the best possible outcomes for those we serve. We are a sector driven by a genuine interest in our mission, where we aim to create conditions for equal and equitable living standards in Skövde through knowledge-based interventions. JOB DESCRIPTION We are now seeking an experienced/senior social worker for our unit focused on investigations involving children and youth. The position involves working with investigations according to SoL, LVU, and LSB, as well as following up on LSB cases in collaboration with adult caseworkers. Your role in the unit will be based on and characterized by the solid experience you are expected to have. In Skövde, social services are organized to provide the best possible support for both employees and families. When a report or application leads to an investigation from the reception, our unit takes over the investigative work. This work is conducted closely with colleagues, supported by senior social workers, SUA, and our social administrators. We offer a pleasant and development-oriented workplace with engaged colleagues and a sense of community in everyday life. You will receive guidance and support both internally and externally. As an employee with us, you will have flexible working hours, wellness benefits, and the option to exchange vacation days. Every Friday, the workgroup enjoys a communal Friday breakfast. Do you want to contribute to creating safety and positive changes for children and families in Skövde? Then you could be our new colleague! QUALIFICATIONS We are looking for someone with a degree in social work and substantial experience who wants to make a real difference for children and youth. You have a strong ability to create and maintain trusting relationships and approach children, parents, and families with respect, sensitivity, and commitment. Your interest in child development and your understanding of various life situations enable you to provide support based on each child's unique needs. Your role will be that of a reliable and experienced caseworker, capable of stepping in to provide support in complex cases as well as mentoring new colleagues with less experience. You thrive in a role where case management, documentation, and collaboration are a natural part of everyday life, and you find it easy to express yourself both verbally and in writing. We value your willingness and courage to think innovatively and contribute to the development of our working methods. A valid driver's license (B) is required.
