For a Living Kiruna

One thing is certain. With us, you make a difference. We are Kiruna, we often say. We are the healthcare staff who hold grandma's hand and the teacher who helps little brother read his first words. We are the childcare worker who helps someone grow every day and the social worker who does what it takes to change lives. We are the personal assistant who provides freedom and the librarian who brings literature close. We are the home support staff who drive to the villages in snowstorms like the midnight sun to be there. We are hundreds of competencies, thousands of people, and generations of experience who together secure, care for, inspire, teach, save lives, think innovatively, move cities, support each other, and take care of people. With pride and compassion. From mountains to city. Today and tomorrow for a living Kiruna. There is something beautiful in that. Do you also want to work for life, humanity, and the future in Kiruna municipality? Do you want to create value and make a real difference for what is important?

We look forward to hearing from you!

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a supervisor at the Employment Unit, you will conduct individualized coaching and guidance for people who need support in getting closer to the labor market. Our clients are primarily the Social Services and the Employment Agency, and the overarching goal is to help participants achieve self-sufficiency. This is done through work training, internships, coaching, guidance, and matching. You, together with one of the supervisors, are responsible for managing the reuse shop Bumerangen and other activities that are relevant depending on the participants' needs. The Employment Unit also runs Fritidsbanken and a Service Group.

Throughout our unit, the Employment and Integration Unit works with individuals who need support to achieve self-sufficiency, we settle and guide newcomers assigned by the Migration Agency, and we support and coach youth aged 16-24. We administer and follow up on the municipality's summer jobs. The unit consists of four Employment Supervisors, three Community Guides, and two Youth Case Managers. Together, we work on the participants' individual planning. In addition to contributing to the development of the operations, you will guide, coach, and provide individual support to participants in the practical work of the operations and assist in solving and guiding any problems that may arise. The position involves working both with individuals and group activities.

As the labor market is constantly changing, the Employment Unit needs to continuously develop to provide the best possible support to people outside the labor market. We believe that you who are applying for the job as an employment supervisor are a person who enjoys change work and wants to contribute to developing the operations forward.
