Do you thrive in a role where you motivate, coach, and support young adults with physical or mental disabilities, while working in a structured and methodical way? Then you might be the person we are looking for!

Within the Employment Department, we work systematically and methodically with the entire planning of the job seeker's path towards work or studies. The assignment includes case handling, individual interventions, and supervision within various operations, in close collaboration with other actors.

The assignment is an administrative cross-departmental collaboration between the Employment Administration and the Care and Elderly Services Administration through daily activities.

Description of Duties

As an Employment Secretary, you work closely with the job seeker by mapping needs, motivating, coaching, and handling cases. The role involves planning, implementing, and following up on individual interventions that strengthen the individual's prerequisites for approaching work or studies.

In this assignment, you will work with individuals who have physical and/or mental disabilities and wish to obtain employment or start studies. You match job seekers with the labor market based on the individual's competencies, prerequisites, and goals. You provide introductions and follow-up support at the workplace. You regularly monitor progress and step-by-step advancement together with the individual and work with preparatory activities as part of the change process. The role includes seeking out and working with employer contacts.

The work also involves ongoing documentation and case handling according to current legislation, guidelines, and routines. As an Employment Secretary, you collaborate with other units within the Employment Department, partners within the labor market area, as well as employers and, if necessary, the individual's other networks.

Through Work for All, you are part of building up the operations in close collaboration with the Care and Elderly Services Administration through daily activities.
