Team Leader for Laundry Services

Are you driven by a mission where no two days are alike? Do you enjoy supporting unemployed individuals through motivational work and job training towards self-sufficiency?

The Labor Market and Integration Department (AMI) is seeking a team leader for the laundry services. Part of AMI's operations involves job training in constructed activities consisting of laundry, cleaning, external services, and café operations.

AMI's operations serve as a transitional labor market and as part of job seekers' individual planning to assess and establish job availability. AMI receives mandates from authorities to offer certain job seekers job training and support to find the best path to gainful employment or studies. Job seekers receive support at AMI for a limited time, which results in a high turnover of job training assignments each year.

As a team leader at AMI, you will be part of an engaged team that values developing leadership, job satisfaction, courage, collaboration, and perseverance that contribute to good organizational results.
