Our mission is to create social value by bringing together job seekers and employers. At the same time, we are committed to providing legally secure and equal service to our citizens. Together, we get Sweden to work! Do you want to join us?

Our Workplace

At the Uppsala office, we are responsible for all eight municipalities in the county. Together, we work to contribute to a well-functioning labor market through support for job seekers and employers.

The work is characterized by collaboration, knowledge sharing, and close leadership that promotes participation and responsibility.

Job Description

As an employment mediator, you will focus on job seekers and employers, serving as a key support for them and making a difference every day. A central part of the job is to inform and communicate about the Swedish Public Employment Service's mission, services, as well as rights and obligations. The role requires curiosity and sensitivity, with the ability to make complex matters simple.

We are looking for someone who wants to work with identifying and assessing support needs for job seekers who are far from the labor market. Based on the individual's conditions, you will work with interventions within our various support areas to strengthen opportunities for employment or education.

The work takes place in close collaboration with employers, municipalities, authorities, and other partners. The role includes both physical meetings at the Employment Service's premises and external meetings with employers and collaborating actors.

In this role, you will support both job seekers and the workplace, involving extensive and frequent contact with employers. You need to be proactive and build good business relationships.

To succeed as an employment mediator, we see that you enjoy:

• Interpreting and applying laws and regulations
• Documenting information in a legally secure and structured manner
• Meeting and working with people and companies in various situations
• Navigating and working in multiple systems simultaneously
• Working to achieve set goals
• Holding investigative and complex conversations

Your employment begins with an introduction where you will be well-equipped with the necessary skills to handle your future duties as a civil servant. If you are ready to make a difference in this important social mission, then the Swedish Public Employment Service is the place for you!
