Welcome to the Labor Market and Integration Unit in Ludvika Municipality!

To meet the challenges of tomorrow, we are now looking for an engaged employee who wants to make a difference. Our mission within the labor market area is to be there for the residents of Ludvika Municipality who need support on their way to self-sufficiency through work or studies.

Here we base our work on our core values Team Spirit, which consists of four principles: relationships, joy, learning, and drive. It is built on collaboration and teamwork, a sense of community, and a desire to continue developing. It is with Team Spirit that we take on our mission and strive towards our vision of being the municipality of the future, growth, and opportunities.

Job Responsibilities

The main responsibilities consist of guiding, coaching, and matching the unit's registered participants to strengthen them in the process of achieving self-sufficiency through work or studies.

You will largely meet individuals who have been away from the labor market for a longer period and who, due to various difficulties, need tailored support. The goal is to support the individual in becoming self-sufficient through a coaching and motivating approach. Steps along the way may include motivational conversations, workplace visits, matching participants to internships, follow-ups, participation in group activities, and much more.

You will work with individuals both individually through personal conversations and in groups with various activities.

Contacts and collaboration with the local business community are an important part of the job responsibilities, which means we are looking for someone who has the ability to create and maintain collaborations. You will also have close cooperation with our internal and external partners, such as the Employment Service, educational providers, Social Services, and other municipal operations.

You will be part of a team where we have close collaboration to achieve our goals.
