Welcome to Alingsås!

As an employee in our municipality, you have all the opportunities to help develop the operations and your workplace. With nearly 4000 employees, we are large enough to drive change and yet small enough for everyone to have an impact and space for their ideas. There is room for innovators here. Together we create Alingsås!

Within the Adult Support unit, several different operations are conducted, including activity houses, housing support, personal representatives, and the housing team. Our target group is primarily individuals aged 18–65 who need support through our interventions, either short-term or long-term.

We are now looking for an engaged Housing Consultant who wants to be an important part of a growing Housing Team. Here you will have a stimulating and developing role, where you can contribute and help shape working methods, collaboration, and routines in the new team.

In the role of Housing Consultant within the Housing Team, you will have a socially important mission, and the purpose is to create sustainable solutions that enable tenants to maintain their housing.

Together with colleagues and close collaboration with external partners, including landlords and the enforcement authority, you will work to prevent evictions and strengthen individuals' opportunities for long-term housing.

Warm welcome with your application!
