Do you have experience in investigative work and the ability to process large amounts of information that you can analyze and summarize in a pedagogical and clear manner? The Investigation and Preparation Unit is now looking for an engaged investigator with a social science educational background who wants to contribute to more residents of Uppsala becoming self-sufficient. With us, you will have a stimulating and varied job focusing on adult education, financial assistance, and labor market initiatives. We warmly welcome your application!

Job Responsibilities

As an investigator, you will investigate and prepare cases for the Labor Market Committee and take on assignments from the management group or department heads. In the areas for which the Labor Market Committee is responsible, you need to stay updated through continuous environmental monitoring. Independently and together with your colleagues, you will follow up and report in connection with the financial statements. A central task is our planning work in preparation for the political governing documents; the Municipal Council's Goals and Budget, as well as the Labor Market Committee's operational plan and internal control plan to implement the Municipal Council's assignments. In the operational planning work, you will participate in close collaboration with colleagues to conduct risk analyses and propose measures that the committee takes to implement the Municipal Council's assignments and manage identified risks. The assignments you will work on will vary in content and timelines. Some issues need to be resolved quickly, while others have a longer preparation time. Therefore, it is important that you can identify urgent matters and prioritize among your assignments. You will be the presenter before the Labor Market Committee and the management group of the administration. This requires you to adapt your presentation, both in language and content, according to the audience to summarize central content in complex issues in a simple and pedagogical manner. Other tasks may arise based on competence and time.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a social science university degree with a focus on political science or another education that the employer deems equivalent. We expect you to have experience in investigative work, public administration, and presenting cases or speaking in front of a group. The work requires good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written. You also need to have knowledge and experience with Microsoft 365, the Office suite, and good skills in plain language.

We would prefer if you have experience in labor market initiatives, social services - financial assistance, and/or adult education. Uppsala Municipality uses digital case management support, so it is an advantage if you have experience working in a digital case management system. It is also meritorious if you can process large amounts of information and extract what is relevant and important for the assignment.

As a person, you are analytical and good at seeing connections and solving complex issues and problems. You see the bigger picture and take into account the broader perspective. You understand your role but prioritize the overall best interests of the organization in your actions and decisions. The job suits you if you collaborate and relate to others in a responsive and smooth manner.
