About the Workplace

The section is a new section within the central student health services whose mission is to support the schools' own work based on the student health mission related to attendance and absence. Two teams, the Attendance Team and the School Social Team, are looking for a coordinator to assist with operations and daily support, as well as strategic work with collaboration between the teams and out towards the schools. The teams' mission is to understand the reasons behind problematic school absenteeism in each individual case and take measures that lead to a functioning school attendance for the student. Both teams are a collaborative effort between the school and social services. The School Social Team also collaborates with the Upper Secondary and Adult Education Administration. The operations are based in their own premises and work with support to schools, guardians, and students to increase attendance and reintegrate students into a functioning school context. The students belong to Malmö city's primary schools grades F-9 and have varying degrees of problematic absence.

Here we want to grow, develop, and challenge ourselves in our learning together – every day. We ensure that everyone has a good working environment and invest in leadership. Together, we all work for each student's best school!
