Social Secretary, Children and Youth Unit

Description:

Welcome to us! In Säffle Municipality, we can, want to, and dare to. Together we build a sustainable and democratic municipality through trust, responsibility, and engagement. We in Säffle Municipality strive to create a dynamic and inclusive community where residents feel safe and engaged, which is how we have formulated our vision for how we want to live in Säffle 2035. Description Do you want to be part of shaping the future of social services in Säffle? Säffle Municipality is embarking on an exciting development journey within social services. We have both the will and the courage to seize the opportunities in the new social services law, with the goal that our residents can easily reach us and feel that our services are a natural part of society's support when life gets complicated. At our Children and Youth Unit, we meet children and families when they need us most. We strive to ensure that every interaction is characterized by good treatment, clarity, and participation. The child's perspective permeates all our work, and we place great emphasis on working in a legally secure and trustworthy manner, both toward those we meet and within our organization. We have well-developed open care services for children and youth, which gives us good opportunities to offer services that are flexible, accessible, and adapted to families' needs. Open care is an important part of our collaborative work and creates valuable support in both acute and preventive contexts. Responsibilities We are looking for someone who is curious, wants to help develop our work together with us, and enjoys taking responsibility. You have good organizational skills, are clear in your communication, and want to be part of an environment where we support each other and work together. As a social secretary at the Children and Youth Unit, you work with the handling of all cases concerning children, young people, and their families, primarily according to the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Care of Young Persons (LVU) Act. Säffle is a municipality where we strive to do things together. We have short distances between decisions and action, and good collaboration with other operations such as Police, schools, and healthcare, for example through our school social team (SST) and Backa barnet, which is a working model that focuses on the best interests of the child regardless of operation and decision. You will have regular supervision with a senior social secretary as well as external supervision. As a new employee, you will receive an introduction and be assigned a mentor. Qualifications We are looking for someone who holds a degree in social work (socionom) or other academic education according to the National Board of Health and Welfare's requirements. We would like you to have experience handling cases directed toward children and young people. You have a B driving license and share our view that quality, safety, and participation are the foundation of good social work. We place great importance on personal suitability. Terms We use continuous selection, and the positions may be filled before the application deadline ends, so do not delay submitting your application. Welcome with your application!
