Coordinator in Adult Education

The Upper Secondary and Adult Education Board is responsible for the municipality's commitments under school legislation for upper secondary school, adapted upper secondary school, municipal adult education, special education for adults, and Swedish language instruction for immigrants. The board is also responsible for work-oriented rehabilitation and the municipal refugee reception. We collaborate to ensure that the municipality's citizens learn, develop, and can live an independent life. We have Sweden's most important job - our mission is to instill hope for the future.

Do you want to work in a qualified and development-oriented role where analysis, finance, and administration meet?

We are now looking for a coordinator who wants to join a team that serves as close management support within adult education!

Your Role

As a coordinator with us, you play an important part in the hub of the organization.

You work closely with other administrative colleagues and contribute to creating structure, quality, and good service for both students and staff.

Part of the assignment involves administrative tasks related to follow-up and collaboration with our economist and other functions within the organization. This may involve managing invoices in collaboration with the economist, making reconciliations, and preparing materials for follow-up, as well as working in Excel or similar programs for compilations, models, or calculations.

You will also work together with the study administration and perform checks and follow-ups with our educational providers.

The role also includes contributing to the development of working methods, processes, and digital solutions - where data-driven approaches are becoming increasingly important.

The work is sometimes conducted under time pressure and in a fast-moving environment, which requires good planning, accountability, and the ability to make well-founded decisions even when circumstances change.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who has:

• Relevant post-secondary education, for example in administration, social sciences, economics, mathematics, or other education deemed equivalent by the employer.
• Experience in managing and developing routines and administrative processes.
• Very good digital competence and experience working with the Office suite, especially Excel.
• Experience in follow-up work and analyzing and presenting statistics.
• Very good knowledge of the Swedish language in both speech and writing.

Meritorious:

• Experience working with student administrative systems or databases.
• Experience from working in the education sector or other public sector work.
• Experience working in Power-BI.

Your Personal Qualities

We place great importance on personal suitability. To succeed in the role, we see that you are flexible and can easily adapt to changing circumstances. You plan, organize, and prioritize your work effectively and take clear responsibility for your tasks.

You have good analytical skills, thrive with structure, and are skilled at seeing connections, identifying patterns, and solving complex issues. Through your knowledge and accuracy, you contribute to the development of the organization.

You are solution-focused, unpretentious, and collaborate smoothly and professionally with others. You have excellent communication skills and express yourself fluently in Swedish, both orally and in writing. You enjoy having many points of contact and have a service-oriented approach.

We Offer

With us, you will have a qualified and developing role in a socially important organization. You will be part of a competent and committed team where you have the opportunity to contribute to quality, structure, and long-term development within adult education.

Warm welcome with your application!
