Job description

Make a real difference every day
Within the Social House of Erpe-Mere, we are looking for two social workers (B1-B3bis).
As a social worker, you help people to lead a life that corresponds to human dignity. You support them with challenges in daily life, offer perspective, and work together on sustainable solutions. In this way, you contribute every day to a better quality of life for people who are struggling.
Do you want a job with real social impact, where no two days are the same and where you make a difference for residents who rely on you? Then you might be the colleague we are looking for.

Working for Erpe-Mere
Erpe-Mere is a vibrant municipality with over 21,000 inhabitants, where services are close to the people. Within our Social House, we are committed daily to residents who need support. We do this with an enthusiastic team of social workers, administrative colleagues, and welfare partners.
So you're never alone.
Job description What does your job look like?
No day is the same.
You guide residents with diverse requests for help and look for solutions that truly work together. You combine social work with strong administrative follow-up and work closely with colleagues and external partners.
Specifically:
  • You are the first point of contact for residents with a request for help.
  • You conduct intake interviews and make home visits.
  • You examine social and financial files and draw up social reports.
  • You guide clients in various life domains: income, housing, welfare, and activation.
  • You draw up support plans and follow them up closely.
  • You refer clients to the appropriate care services and build a strong network.
  • You guide political refugees.
  • You actively participate in projects within the Social House.

Profile Who are we looking for?
You are someone who enjoys helping people move forward and who excels at listening, analyzing, and collaborating.
Furthermore:
  • you have knowledge of the social map and the functioning of a Public Centre for Social Welfare (OCMW);
  • you communicate fluently and empathetically;
  • you can analyze complex situations and work solution-oriented;
  • you work accurately and administratively correctly;
  • you are stress-resistant and flexible;
  • you handle confidential information discreetly;
  • you possess a B driving license.

Diploma
You possess a diploma that meets the diploma requirements for a social worker as determined by the ministerial decree of January 11, 2024.
Recent graduates are also warmly welcome. Enthusiasm and motivation are at least as important to us as experience.
Offer What can you expect?
You will join a close-knit team of more than ten social workers where colleagues support each other and share knowledge.
In addition, we offer:
  • Full-time employment contract of indefinite duration
  • Remuneration according to salary scale B1-B3bis
  • Recognition of relevant seniority
  • Meal vouchers (€8)
  • Free hospitalization insurance
  • Bicycle allowance
  • Contribution to commuting costs
  • Flexible working hours
  • Possibility of teleworking
  • Supplementary pension
  • Extensive training opportunities
  • At least 31 days of leave
  • Bicycle lease
  • Eco-vouchers and local trader vouchers
Above all, you will join an organization where colleagues are there for each other and where a healthy work-life balance is important.

How to apply
Do you already see yourself as part of our team?
Submit to us no later than September 8, 2026:
  • your CV;
  • your motivation letter;
  • a copy of your diploma;
  • a copy of your B driving license.
Email your application to [email protected] with the subject line "Maatschappelijk Werker".
Together we build a municipality where no one is left behind. Perhaps with you soon.
