Job Responsibilities

In collaboration with the Labor Market and Social Services Administration (ASF), we have established a school social team.

Our target group is students in grades F–9 with problematic school absenteeism. We offer intensive interventions and work closely with students, guardians, and schools. The school social team is a way for schools and social services to work together on early interventions to increase students' school attendance and promote safety and study environment.

The team has been operational since March/April, starting with five pilot schools. During the autumn, additional schools have been added, and the goal is for all municipal primary schools in Malmö to be able to participate in the initiative by early 2026.

We are now looking for 1 employee who wants to make a difference. You will be part of a workgroup with high competence and a good working climate, where we develop our work together.
