JOB RESPONSIBILITIES As a social worker in the follow-up team, you work in various ways to ensure that all children in the municipality are doing well and growing up in safe conditions. You do this by ensuring that social services interventions are of high quality. This is done through regular follow-ups of interventions together with children, guardians, and service providers. In your role as a follow-up worker, relationship-building is important and you follow up on both open care services and placements in, for example, foster homes and institutional care (HVB), working with the 0-21 age group and their families. Follow-up is an ongoing process that both the social board and the care provider must document continuously. It provides a basis for considerations and reviews of care. The purpose of care follow-up is to ensure the child is doing well and receiving the right help. The goals formulated in the child's care plan and implementation plan are important starting points when social services follow up on care. During follow-up, new needs can be identified and any problematic conditions in the child's home can be noticed. The work consists of follow-up as well as planning, coordination, case management, documentation, decision-making, and other administrative functions, and to some extent investigation. Our work climate is permissive with a high ceiling, and the atmosphere is informal and relaxed with a lot of laughter. We believe that engagement is born through encouragement and trust. Therefore, we strive for a creative work environment with stimulated employees who contribute to both dynamics and development. For us, collegial belonging and collegial support are important, where you work toward a respectful and pleasant work environment. We want to move forward and personal initiatives are encouraged. It is also important that our employees can maintain a good balance between their personal and professional lives. We have flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely when the work allows. QUALIFICATIONS We are looking for someone who is a social worker and wants to contribute to good interactions with children and young people as well as their families. Experience in administrative work, good knowledge of BBIC and Signs of Safety, in-depth knowledge of the Social Services Act, and strong documentation skills are merits. We place great emphasis on personal suitability. To thrive with us and in this work, you are curious, have a natural ability to build relationships, and an interest in people. You are structured and enjoy collaboration, but also have the ability to work independently. You have knowledge of children's needs and are passionate about contributing to good and quality work. Traveling and home visits are part of the job, so you need to have a Class B driver's license for manual cars. Employment form: Permanent employment. Duration: Permanent. Work hours: Daytime. We strive for diversity where our employees' backgrounds, experiences, knowledge, and personalities enrich the municipality. We recruit continuously during the application period! We decline offers of advertising and recruitment assistance.
