Supervisor for Work and Integration at Mjölby Municipality

We are Mjölby Municipality. Together, we deliver services, act as societal builders, and exercise authority. Our work benefits society with the citizen's best interests in focus throughout their entire life.

The Care and Social Services Administration is one of Mjölby Municipality's six administrations with a clear mission – we exist for people. With approximately 1,000 employees, we contribute to a self-sufficient and active life with meaningful occupation. Our driving force is to create development and security in everyday life, and our shared goal is to provide high-quality welfare services. Success requires competence, engagement, and courage – we dare to invest in innovation, new technology, and new ways of working to drive development forward.

The Work and Integration Unit is part of the Individual and Family Care, within the Care and Social Services Administration. The unit's main task is to help people who are furthest from the labor market into education, work, and appropriate public support, with the goal of achieving self-sufficiency. The unit currently has four internal operations, including a first-step activity and a cafeteria, which enable work training and practice before a person is ready for placement in a regular municipal workplace. Within the unit, occupational therapists, labor market case officers, labor market coordinators, labor market investigators, supervisors, mentors, coordinators, and administrators work together. We are now looking for development-oriented mentors with the passion to motivate and support our participants towards self-sufficiency.

With us, you will have a meaningful and varied job where you have the opportunity to truly influence people's lives. We are a unit in constant development where new projects and work methods are tested and shaped. Here, personal initiatives and ideas are encouraged.

Are you the one who can motivate and support people towards self-sufficiency?

You are involved in following up on participants together with the referring case officer. You assess how interventions work for participants and provide suggestions on how future planning regarding rehabilitation can look.

As a supervisor, you participate in planning and developing the operations. Some administrative tasks are also included in the role.
