Subject Coordinator for the Specialized Adult Area

Can you create professional direction, raise the quality and be at the forefront when the authority task becomes complex?

We are not just looking for an experienced authority person. We are looking for a professional coordinator who can unite the professionalism, create followership and take responsibility for ensuring that our case processing has high quality, clear direction and consistent practice.

In the Social Unit for Adults in Albertslund Municipality you will have a central role in the department's professional leadership. You will be the one the advisers can turn to with doubts, difficult assessments and complex cases, and the one who, together with the team leader, translates ambitions of high professionalism into concrete practice.

Albertslund is a green municipality with big ambitions. We are proud of our municipality and strive in our tasks and efforts for citizens, associations and businesses. We are one municipality and one organization. We have engaged and skilled employees and a collaborative culture that crosses sectors and levels. That makes Albertslund Municipality a good place to work.

Your mandate and your role

As a professional coordinator you will have a clear professional role close to practice. You will collaborate with the team leader, 10 advisers and 1 matching and negotiation consultant to create direction, quality and shared professionalism in the authority work.

You support the quality of case processing by providing sparring, asking good professional questions and pointing out necessary adjustments when a case needs to be qualified or advanced.

The advisers retain responsibility for their own cases. Your task is to support, qualify and create common direction without taking over responsibility for the individual case.

Team leader has personnel and management responsibility. You work closely together to translate legislation, practice, supervisory oversight and professional goals into a consistent and usable practice. In case of significant professional disagreement, lack of progress or need for managerial decision, the team leader is involved.

What the role looks like in practice

You are close to daily task solving and available to the advisers. In complex cases you help create overview, identify the central social-pedagogical and legal issues and clarify next steps. You do not stand alone with the solutions, but you create the frames for advisers to make professionally and legally sound decisions.

The role includes ongoing sparring, quality assurance, professional development and implementation. This means you must be able to switch between the concrete case, the shared practice and the department's long-term development.

What you need to succeed

Your most important task is to make the entire department professionally stronger. Among other things you should:

• be an accessible professional sparring partner for the advisers in everyday case processing and in complex cases
• ensure high professional quality and support a consistent practice in case information, assessments, decisions, documentation and other authority tasks
• lead in cases and tasks that require special professional direction, coordination or progress
• stay updated on legislation, principle notices, practice and other relevant knowledge in the area
• translate new legislation and practice into clear guidance, common workflows and usable support in the advisers’ everyday
• drive case meetings so they create professional reflection, qualify case processing and provide value for all participants
• contribute to management oversight twice a year with focus on, among other things, professional quality, consistent case handling, documentation and compliance with rules and internal workflows
• identify needs for professional development, learning, tools and quality assurance and take responsibility for ensuring the development is translated into practice
• support a culture where there is room to bring doubts and challenges forward, and where common reflection is actively used for learning.

Who are you?

Your educational background may be social worker, pedagog, or another relevant social-professional discipline. The decisive factor is that you have solid experience with authority work in the specialized adult area.

You have professional depth that makes others naturally seek your sparring. At the same time you know that followership is created through dialogue, credibility and respect. You can sharply address quality without losing sight of the relationship, and you can make complex professional and legal questions understandable and applicable.

We would like you to have

• solid experience with authority tasks under the Social Services Act provisions in the specialized adult area
• a sound knowledge of relevant social law, administrative law and practice in the specialized adult area
• the ability to analyze complex cases and translate issues into professional direction, prioritization and concrete actions
• the ability to quality assure authority work and a sense of the connection between case information, citizen involvement, professional assessment, justification and decision
• the ability to communicate professional knowledge clearly, precisely and practically, both orally and in writing
• the ability to create followership and remain calm in the professional leadership role, even when there are different perspectives or difficult decisions
• the ability to balance support and clear professional expectations so advisers perceive both help, responsibility and direction.

It is an advantage if you

• have experience leading professional meetings, learning processes or development processes
• have experience with quality assurance, supervisory oversight, workflows or implementation of new legislation and practice
• are curious, development-oriented and motivated by lifting both the individual adviser and the department's common practice.

As a professional coordinator you will hold a key position in maintaining and developing this practice.
