Social Worker for Cash Benefits for Activation-Ready People Over 30 at Brøndby Employment Center

Are you passionate about helping activity-ready cash benefit recipients back into the labor market?

As one of our skilled social workers has chosen to withdraw from the labor market, we are seeking a skilled social worker for case processing of citizens over 30 who receive cash benefits and are assessed as activity-ready. That means citizens with problems beyond unemployment. It can be physical, mental and/or social issues and is often a combination of these.

If you are motivated by achieving results through close collaboration with citizens who are further from the labor market, you might be our new social worker for the cash benefit area at the Brøndby Employment Center.

What your day will look like

As our new colleague in the cash benefit area you have both the desire and flair to handle the authority role in cash benefit cases. Here, some of the central tasks will be to hold individual conversations based on a fixed method, make decisions, implement offers, and ensure progression in the citizen's process. This includes a focus on paid hours, internships and/or a combination of internship and paid hours.

In addition, you will handle case processing for citizens who are subject to work obligation, and you must ensure that citizens covered by this scheme are in continuous and meaningful work-oriented activity. You will also be responsible for ensuring the citizen's annual right to clarification (clarification rights).

You should also be aware of bringing in interdisciplinary collaboration, with both colleagues internally and externally – always with the aim that the citizen returns to the labor market as quickly as possible, preferably in the form of paid hours. This could for example involve collaboration with general practitioners, psychiatry, the substance abuse area, etc.

In addition, you should be eager to solve the administrative tasks that accompany the position, and have good communication skills in both writing and speaking.

We focus on dialogue and collaboration as well as an efficient and results-oriented effort. We believe in the citizen and the citizen's opportunities in the labor market through job-oriented conversations from day one.

Your tasks will include, among others

• You are responsible for your own caseload with citizens who receive cash benefits
• Employment-oriented conversations based on a fixed method and template
• Employment-oriented motivational work for citizens who receive cash benefits
• Conduct CV conversations and ABC plans
• You are responsible for citizens who are subject to work obligation being engaged in meaningful and company-oriented activity
• You are responsible for ensuring the citizen's annual clarification right
• You conduct follow-up conversations with clear job goals and plans.
• You have close collaboration with both internal and external partners.
• Preparation of cases for meetings in flex jobs and disability pension board prior to recommendations for flex jobs and disability pension.
• Preparation of cases for meetings in flex jobs and the disability pension board prior to the citizen's application for disability pension on the basis of the current grounds, i.e., according to the Danish Social Pension Act § 17
