Job Market Consultant Wanted in Köping Municipality

The Job Market Unit in Köping Municipality is looking for someone who is passionate about motivating people, creating connections, and instilling hope for the future! Do you want a key role in supporting individuals towards work or education? Then this could be the job for you!

The Job Market Unit is part of the social and labor market administration and the work & welfare area. The work & welfare area deals with labor market issues and financial assistance, aiming to help individuals who are outside the labor market to achieve self-sufficiency. Within the Job Market Unit, we have a Job Center as well as practical operations such as a service team, leisure bank, and an internal laundry.

The administration is responsible for individual & family care, income support, labor market initiatives, and municipal adult education. Our operations are based on a user perspective through collaboration and a holistic view.

With us, you will receive:

• An inclusive work environment with engaged colleagues who work to make a difference for our residents.

We can offer you:

• Summer and winter working hours - shorter working hours in the summer and time off during bridge days
• Generous flexible working hours system
• Administrative support
• Health and wellness allowance
• Opportunity for vacation exchange that provides extra vacation days

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a job market consultant, you will have a varied and developing role where you will primarily guide, lead, and follow up participants in our practical operations. Your main task is to support individuals in approaching self-sufficiency through work, studies, or other activities.

The work within our practical operations includes guiding, motivating, and following up participants who are in, for example, internships or subsidized employment, where your practical skills combined with your problem-solving ability will be central. The goal is for the people you meet to develop and be equipped to establish themselves in the regular labor market.

Although your main role will be in our practical operations, tasks within our Job Center may also occur. At the Job Center, you will coach and inspire participants with a clear educational or job focus by establishing individual plans and implementing various group activities and theoretical initiatives based on the participants' needs. As part of your daily work, you will collaborate with various actors, such as other departments within the municipality, the Employment Service, the Social Insurance Agency, or other stakeholders.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with a relevant university degree in behavioral science, social science, or another similar education that the employer deems equivalent.

We are looking for someone who has good knowledge and experience of the labor market and the conditions that apply in working life. Perhaps you have previously worked within a municipal job market unit, the Employment Service, or a similar organization?

You are communicative and have a good understanding that each individual is unique with their strengths, conditions, and background. You have previously worked with supportive and coaching work towards individuals who are far from the labor market. You can plan, document, and follow up on initiatives effectively. The work also involves administration and documentation, which means you need to have good computer skills and the ability to express yourself in writing. Driving may be required for the position, so a B driver's license for a manual transmission is a requirement.

It is an advantage if you have:

• Training in solution-focused working methods with experience in guidance and motivational work
• Experience in holding and coordinating groups and working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds
• Experience in leadership

Conditions:

Fixed-term employment, temporary position for 1 year.

Are you the one we are looking for? Welcome with your application!
