Swedish term or phrase: socialsekreterare
Alltså en person som jobbar inom socialtjänsten på en kommun.

MIn ordbok tycker "social welfare secretary" men har aldrig hört detta i den betydelsen i något engelskspråkigt sammanhang, bara i betydelsen av en ministerpost, som till exempel "secretary of welfare and development".

Vill skriva 'social worker' men undrar om det är för brett?

I agree with you and Diarmuid that social worker is a correct translation. Like you, I've never heard the term social welfare secretary.
