We are looking for two Activity Coordinators for the Employment Unit in Eksjö Municipality

Eksjö Municipality is a safe and vibrant community that welcomes everyone. Here you will find both urban and rural areas, rich in history and forward-looking spirit. Both small entrepreneurs and large companies thrive here. The close-knit nature of the community offers opportunities for a meaningful leisure time. The municipality is one of the largest employers, and with your help, we want our residents to be able to live a good life. We achieve this through collaboration, sustainable work, and by valuing your competence and commitment.

Do you want to help create pathways to employment and self-sufficiency?

Are you a confident leader with strong collaboration skills? Then you might be the person we are looking for!

The Employment Unit (AME) is part of the social services sector. The primary goal of AME is to help residents of Eksjö Municipality find work and thereby become self-sufficient. Our role is to support individuals in achieving self-sufficiency through labor market measures and work-life rehabilitation initiatives that bring individuals closer to employment or education.

We are a cross-professional team consisting of employment consultants, occupational therapists, SE-coaches, youth pedagogues, supervisors, and administrators.

With an upcoming activity requirement and an expanded mandate, Eksjö Municipality is embarking on an exciting development journey. The activity requirement aims to ensure that each participant, based on their prerequisites, takes active steps towards work or studies through increased participation, structure, and personal responsibility.

About the Role

We are now seeking two Activity Coordinators for AME. As an Activity Coordinator, you are responsible for managing the process from the decision to participate in the activity requirement to the implementation and follow-up of the activity. The role is organizationally placed within AME but has a clear cross-professional mandate, working closely with economic assistance, municipal operations, and external partners who provide internship and activity placements.

The role involves coordinating tasks with a focus on structure, follow-up, and development, as well as administrative and operational duties.

The assignment as an Activity Coordinator involves:

• Following up on results and contributing to operational development
• Providing support to case handlers and employment staff regarding the activity requirement

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a relevant university degree in social work, behavioral science, labor market, or equivalent acquired competence through work. It is an advantage if you have experience in social work involving support for progression towards self-sufficiency and/or labor market initiatives.

You are structured, analytical, and have a good ability to see the big picture. You thrive in a coordinating role where collaboration and clear communication are crucial. You should enjoy working individually as well as being responsible for group activities. You are solution-focused and have a genuine commitment to the individual's opportunity for self-sufficiency.

Documentation and follow-up of interventions take place continuously in digital support systems. You are responsible for creating a safe environment where participants thrive and develop.
