Newly Created Position as Social Profession Advisor in Social Efforts for Adults

Do you want to make a very concrete difference for adult citizens who are in the midst of a major life change – and at the same time help develop a newly created function in Gribskov Municipality?

As a social professional advisor in the Social Efforts for Adults, you will be the central point for citizens without networks when they need to move into handicap-accessible housing or a nursing home and require support for finances, legal matters and practical tasks in the moving process.

You are not employed to administer statutes. You are employed to make them usable for people. With us, it is the person – not the case – that is the focus.

We work with young people and adults with disabilities, mental illnesses and complex social challenges. It requires high professional competence, good relationships and the courage to think across boundaries. And it requires that we do not stand alone.

Your daily workplace will be Social Efforts for Adults in the Center for Employment and Social at Østergade 62 in 3200 Helsinge – in a strong, cross-disciplinary environment that embraces the entire specialized adult area. In daily life, we work closely with both the employment area but also the health and care sector.

Everyday life in Social Efforts for Adults and cross-collaboration

You will become part of the Center for Employment and Social, which includes both the employment area, benefits department, residential facilities and the specialized social area for adults

In daily life there is a good mood, we laugh together, and although we have a busy day, we prioritize the social, for example by eating lunch together. You will sit in an open-plan office with zone division, so there is room for sparring, closeness to colleagues and space for deep concentration.

You will be part of a team where we see ourselves as teammates for each other. In the team we have a common task, and we expect you to contribute to the daily operations and to the professional development of the area, including when we adjust workflows together and find new ways to help citizens even better. The possibility of remote work provides flexibility in planning your tasks and your everyday life.

Your key competencies as a social professional advisor

• You are a social worker or social mediator
• You have solid experience within the social field, preferably with adult citizens with mental illnesses, disabilities and social problems
• You have knowledge of housing benefit, pensions, guardianship, housing deposits, aids, etc. – and preferably experience with finances, tariffs and the legal aspects of contracts
• You have strong cross-disciplinary understanding and thrive in collaboration across authorities, operations, benefits and other relevant actors
• You can navigate complex cases and tight deadlines while maintaining an overview and a proper dialogue with the citizen
• You have good communication and collaboration skills – both written and spoken and are a team player who takes shared responsibility for joint task solving

Your central tasks in the citizens' moving process

The purpose of your role is to ensure that citizens without networks receive the necessary support for financial, legal and practical tasks in connection with moving into handicap-accessible housing or a nursing home – across the Center for Social and Care (CSO) and the Center for Employment and Social (CBS).

You will have a broad portfolio of tasks, including

Economy and benefits

• Applications for deposit loans
• Applications for housing benefit
• Applications for personal allowances / single benefits
• Establish and follow up on repayment agreements in collaboration with Billing
• Collaboration with the Benefits Team on administration cases (rent, medicine, service packages, etc.)
• Help with creating PBS agreements
• Delivery of invoices for payment with the citizen's consent
• Applications for heating allowance, health allowance and exemption from digital post

Housing, moving process and special tasks

• Signing of lease and termination of previous housing
• Home visits and help to mark furniture, including decision on rest furniture
• Requesting moving quotes and booking a moving company as well as applying for moving grants
• Delivery of keys and address change
• Contact with lawyer in case of housing sale, if relevant
• Coordination with nursing homes and housing associations, including moving-in inspection and reception of the lease
• Assessment of the need for guardianship
• Early advisory for new nursing home cases and particular attention to citizens exempt from digital post
• Guidance to spouses about financial possibilities when moving

You thus gain a key role where you connect finances, law, practical details and care into a coherent effort for the citizen.

That’s why you’ll be glad to choose us

You enter a newly created position where you have a real opportunity to shape content, workflows and collaboration surfaces. We have the framework and the task, but we look forward to you bringing your experiences and ideas into play so we can develop the area together.

You will become part of a center where interdisciplinarity is not just a word, but something we organize around in fixed structures and meeting forums. This means you will not face difficult problems alone – there are always colleagues and professional sparring close by.

At the same time we offer a workplace with

• a casual tone and room for humor
• a strong professional environment across authorities, operations and economy
• focus on both professional quality and integrity in meetings with citizens
• flexibility, including the possibility of remote work

In short: You will have the opportunity to use your social-professional toolkit to the full – and see a very concrete impact of your efforts in the citizens’ lives.
