Job Responsibilities

As a labor market consultant in the youth unit, you will be operational in the daily work of administering and coordinating initiatives for the youth target group.

The unit consists of several teams with a primary focus on work and preparatory initiatives for young people aged 15-29, but also initiatives aimed at other target groups in the city.

We are looking for a new team member for our summer job team, which coordinates approximately 6000 summer jobs for young Gothenburgers throughout the year. Our primary target group is students in the 9th grade of primary school and the 1st and 2nd years of high school. The young people are employed by us and placed in various organizations across the city. The work in the team varies with periods of administration, follow-up, and planning during parts of the year. During the summer job periods, there is a strong emphasis on communication and relationships with workplaces, youth, and parents, which we engage with via phone, email, and visits. If you are applying to us, you enjoy meeting new people and tackling everything from simple to more complex questions. We value respectful interaction and a good ability to express oneself well in Swedish, both spoken and written. You will work in the systems FerieBas and Personec, as well as with various programs within the Office suite.

To thrive with us, you need to be able to perform your work in a structured and independent manner, but also plan and collaborate closely with your colleagues. We view the unit's mission as our shared mission, and it may occur that you switch tasks within teams and the unit, but the target group of youth aged 15-29 remains the same.

The position is a temporary contract that extends until 2026-10-15.

We will conduct interviews on an ongoing basis during the recruitment period, so do not wait to apply!
