The Southern Dalarna Coordination Association is seeking a coach for the Collaboration Team Avesta. The purpose of the Southern Dalarna Coordination Association is to enable authorities to collaborate on work-oriented rehabilitation for those who have fallen outside the labor market. The association's aim is to provide financial coordination within the rehabilitation area between the Employment Service, the Social Insurance Agency, Region Dalarna, and Avesta Municipality. Resources will be used for coordinated assessments and interventions aimed at helping individuals gain or improve their ability to work. The Collaboration Team Avesta has been jointly operated since spring 2015 by Avesta Municipality, Region Dalarna, the Employment Service, and the Social Insurance Agency with funding and support from the Southern Dalarna Coordination Association. Our offices are located at Koppardalsvägen 40, and the organizationally placed operations are within the Employment Unit belonging to the Social Care Administration in Avesta Municipality.

The team offers individual conversations, group activities, and support in the coordination work around the individual. Participants also receive help to become aware of their own abilities and gain increased self-confidence and self-esteem. The goal is for the participant to become self-sufficient through work or studies.

RESPONSIBILITIES

You will be part of a team where several collaboration partners are represented. Currently, 3 people work full-time in the team.

We are constantly developing our workplace and our working methods to meet the needs that arise. Your tasks will naturally include actively participating in our development work both internally and externally to create the best possible conditions for those who need coordinated support from us.

You will coach our participants from a solution-focused perspective, both individually and in groups. You will work together with the individual to identify their goals and inherent resources and abilities to approach them. A significant part of the assignment consists of coordinating support in collaboration with other parties based on the individual rehabilitation plan and helping to create personally developing activities based on the participants' wishes and needs. The work also involves contacts with local actors in the labor market, both in the public and private sectors as well as non-profit organizations. You will receive continuous supervision and further education based on a solution-focused perspective.

QUALIFICATIONS

To thrive as a coach, you should have a commitment and interest in working in a team in a creative and challenging environment that is constantly changing and developing. The team includes staff from social services and the region. You should be interested in and curious about people's inherent abilities and resources. You should have training in a solution-focused approach and experience working from a solution-focused perspective. You want to develop your ability to work from the premise that each person finds their own solution.

You should have a relevant university education in, for example, rehabilitation or another education that the employer assesses as equivalent. You have experience in coaching work from a solution-focused perspective. It is advantageous if you have experience working in a team-based manner with work-oriented rehabilitation. Knowledge of how politically governed organizations and our welfare systems function is required for the job. It is a great advantage if you have experience working in collaboration and a broad network within public services and the local business community.

We are looking for someone who is clear, calm, and secure in themselves and who has the ability to build good relationships and create trust. As a coach, you have a genuine interest in working with people both in groups and individually. You have a good understanding of how people absorb knowledge based on different conditions and adapt your communication style depending on whom you are meeting. Good collaboration skills are of great importance. We expect that in your interactions with both participants and colleagues, you will have a good approach and value differences, as well as understand how background, culture, and group affiliation affect yourself and others.

Since a large part of your tasks involves collaborating and communicating with various parties and actors, good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written, is required. If you speak other languages, this is an advantage. You have good computer skills and documentation habits.
