Vacant job

AKG Sweden is looking for a Supervisor for the Vocational Introduction for People with Visual Impairments (YIS)

AKG Sweden AB is a dynamic company that has grown rapidly, from approximately 15 employees in 2023 to over 170 engaged colleagues today. As part of Angus Knight Group, a global player in education, employment, and social services, we are dedicated to making a positive difference for individuals and communities. We work to broaden participants' perspectives on the labor market and career opportunities, focusing on their needs and development.

The Vocational Introduction for People with Visual Impairments consists of various preparatory measures, divided into four steps over approximately 1–1.5 years. During this time, our participants will engage in individually suitable activities that help them achieve their goal of obtaining employment or participating in education leading to work.

Your Profile
We are looking for someone who is self-motivated, driven, and engaged with other people. The target group is very broad, which places high demands on you and your colleagues to adapt content and structure at an individual level. Much of your work will involve strengthening our participants' self-esteem, confidence, and motivation. Therefore, we consider it essential that you have experience interacting with people who have visual impairments, and that you are driven by engaging and helping others grow – without taking over their responsibilities. This is an important balance for us at AKG!

You are fundamentally positive and unpretentious, with good self-awareness regarding the conditions you need to thrive and succeed in your work. You are challenged by testing different paths and methods, and you enjoy working both independently and as part of a team.

The Role of Supervisor
In addition to educating, supporting, coaching, and motivating our participants, you always keep the goal in sight – with a clear mandate to find a suitable path for the individual that leads to work or studies. This places high demands on an individualized approach to work. The role also involves some administration and documentation in our own and the client's systems.

At AKG Sweden, we work in teams. In the role as Supervisor, you are responsible, together with the Vision Pedagogue, the local team, and the Quality Manager, to ensure that through our internal processes we deliver a service we are proud of, and you are a key person in the ongoing development work.

Education and Experience

• At least 1 year of experience planning and coordinating activating and motivating measures for people with disabilities
• At least 1 year of experience in securing trial work and internship placements

Your daily work will be flexible, challenging, and highly value-creating!

In the employment relationship at AKG Sweden, there is an expectation that everyone, i.e., YOU yourself, takes responsibility for increasing your self-awareness regarding the conditions you need to feel good and succeed in your work – and dares to communicate these to your colleagues. Then we can achieve most things together!

We value the qualities that diversity and gender balance bring to the business and therefore welcome applicants with different backgrounds and life experiences
