Vacant job

During the years 2024–2028, Tranås Municipality is implementing a targeted, cross-administrative initiative for the municipality's youth. The overarching purpose is to create a secure upbringing for the children in the municipality. Through the project Targeted Measures for School Attendance, new working methods are being created where health-promoting and preventive work in collaboration are the key words.

Doesn't that sound like an exciting assignment? We welcome your application!

DUTIES

You will help continue to shape the project's working methods, with your main task being to work on the youth's motivation for school and leisure activities. The work will take place at both group and individual levels, aiming to promote meaningful schooling and leisure time for the children.

At the group level, this involves group activities and information for students, both during and after school hours. During school hours, you will work at the individual level with specific children to increase their motivation and desire to attend school by offering activities that are not part of the school's regular operations, giving the child the opportunity to shine.

In addition to contact with the children, the role involves significant contact with guardians. The position includes participating in driving cross-school projects and working compensatorily, acting as a bridge between children/guardians and various actors within the municipality and leisure life.

You will initiate and participate in collaborative projects for and with children and young people, together with other actors within the Culture and Leisure Administration (such as the library, swimming pool, and arts school), as well as the Individual and Labour Market Administration, sports clubs, and others. Since the project collaborates closely with the municipality's youth activities, assignments may also occur within that sector.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who have a post-secondary education in social or pedagogical work, or alternatively, other education or experience that the employer deems relevant for the assignment. It is an advantage to have a local network and knowledge of the municipality's work with children and young people, as well as the municipality's club life. In addition to education and professional experience, we would appreciate it if you had knowledge or interests that could increase the overall competence of the work group.

To fit this role, we also believe that you are/have:

• Proactive: Takes initiative, starts activities, and achieves results.
• Creative: Often comes up with ideas and new approaches to work-related issues. Has innovative thinking that can be put into practice and leads to results.
• Flexible: Adapts easily to changing circumstances. Can quickly change perspective and approach. Sees opportunities in changes.
• Relationship-building: Is outgoing and socially active in professional contexts. Creates and maintains contacts. You are a strong relationship builder with a good ability to make new contacts, driven by thinking new thoughts and finding solutions where others see obstacles.
• Collaborative: Works well with other people. Relates to them in a listening and smooth manner. Listens, communicates, and resolves conflicts constructively.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
