About the Role

Here, you will have the opportunity to support people every day as they move towards employment, studies, and increased independence. At the same time, you will become part of a secure and warm work group where we help each other, develop together, and ensure that working life is sustainable – for both our participants and ourselves.

We are now looking for a Labour Market Coach for the Unit of Labour Market, Integration, and Economic Assistance.

About the Unit

The Individual and Family Department consists of three parts that work closely together: Children and Youth, Adults, and the Labour Market (Ame), Integration, and Economic Assistance Unit. At the Labour Market, Integration, and Economic Assistance Unit, there is one unit manager, 4 labour market coaches, 3 work supervisors, 2 integration coaches, and one administrator. In Economic Assistance, there is one senior social secretary and 3 social secretaries. We work to strengthen and support individuals to achieve self-sufficiency.

1 position(s).

Responsibilities

As a Labour Market Coach, you work to support individuals receiving social assistance and who are outside the labour market, helping them move towards work or studies with the goal of becoming self-sufficient and independent. Your task is to support, motivate, and guide participants towards employment, studies, and increased independence.

Among other things, you will:

• Coach and motivate participants individually and in groups
• Identify strengths, needs, and goals
• Create and follow up on action plans
• Support job searching, CV writing, and interview training
• Lead workshops and group activities
• Collaborate with employers, the Swedish Public Employment Service, healthcare, and other actors
• Document and follow up on interventions according to the organization's routines

In this role, you will have the opportunity to build relationships, create motivation, and contribute to people daring to take the next step in life.

Who You Are

We are looking for someone who is engaged, solution-focused, and has a genuine interest in supporting people in their development. With your sensitivity and ability to see each individual's unique needs, you create conditions for progress and change. You work in a structured and goal-oriented manner, with a strong drive to achieve results together with the participants.

You thrive both working independently and in close collaboration with others, contributing to a positive and developmental team climate. With your high social competence and professional approach, you build trust, even in complex situations. You are secure, flexible, and curious – qualities that enable you to meet people where they are and inspire them to take the next step.

Since the work involves close collaboration with economic assistance, it is important that you have a good understanding of public administration and its implications.
