Caseworker with a strong professional backbone and a heart in the right place

Do you recognize the value of strong professional sparring, collegial backing and a close work community? Then you should be our new colleague in the Unit for Authority and Access!

"We have a lot of different profiles in the department that complement each other well"

• Mette, adviser

In the Unit for Authority and Access in Slagelse Municipality we are looking for a new social worker/social mediator. With us you enter a department where experiences and professional skills are woven together, and where we actively use each other’s strengths in everyday life.

The core task in the department is the classic and important social work craft: assessment under VUM 2.0, eligibility/visitation and follow-up on e.g. residential facilities (§§ 107/108), day services (§§ 103/104), companionship scheme (§ 97), social-pedagogical support (§ 85), guardianship and respite care (§ 84).

"I love my job, my tasks and my freedom to plan my own workday."

• Jane, adviser

With us you get clear frameworks, trust and a high degree of freedom in planning your own case portfolio. We know that authority tasks in the specialized adult area can be complex – therefore your professional freedom is always paired with close professional backing:

• You are never alone: We have ongoing sparring with professional coordinators, a lawyer and approachable management.
• Safe start : You will receive a tailored introductory course and an experienced colleague as a fixed mentor.
• Flexibility : We offer flex time and the possibility of home working, so your everyday life fits well together.

"We get along well as colleagues, and there is always room for a chat and a good laugh."

• Helle, adviser

For us, professional pride and a good working environment are two sides of the same coin. You will experience a department where doors are open, helpfulness is a given, and where humor is a regular part of daily life.

We imagine that you

• are trained as a social worker, social mediator or have another relevant professional background
• have a strong professional backbone, good legal understanding and thrive in the authority role
• meet both citizens and colleagues with decency, curiosity and a smile.

Do you want to be part of the team?

• Start date: February 1, 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.
• Time: 37 hours per week or as agreed
• Salary and employment terms: In accordance with the applicable collective agreement and Local Pay.
