Benefits Caseworker with responsibility for integration – re-advertisement

Do you want to work in a municipality where professionalism, presence and holistic solutions go hand in hand?

We are again looking for an engaged and experienced benefits caseworker who is interested in a versatile position with responsibility for both subsistence benefits and Dragør Municipality's local integration efforts.

The position has become vacant again, and we are therefore re-advertising it. Perhaps it is you we have the opportunity to have on the team.

You will become part of a small professional environment with short decision paths, a high degree of independence and close collaboration across the municipality. Here, there is not much from idea to action, and you will have the opportunity to influence both daily task solving and the ongoing development of the area. The position is anchored in the Center for Citizen, Culture and Social, where we work purposefully to ensure that citizens receive the right help in time, and that new citizens get a secure and coherent start to life in Dragør.

About the job

As a benefits caseworker, you will be part of a close professional collaboration, where you, together with a colleague, solve tasks in both the benefits and integration areas. You share responsibility for the daily task solving and work closely together to ensure correct case processing, timely disbursement of benefits and a coherent effort for the citizens. This provides good opportunities for ongoing sparring, coordination and joint development of the tasks.

In the employment area, Dragør Municipality has a close and binding cooperation with Tårnby Municipality, which handles the employment-related efforts. You will therefore be an important link between the citizen, Dragør Municipality and Job Center Tårnby.
