Vacant job

As part of our operations, Folkuniversitetet conducts various initiatives on behalf of the Swedish Public Employment Service, including "Rusta och Matcha". The purpose of this initiative is to help job seekers move into employment or further regular studies. We are now looking for a person ready to take on this assignment in Olofström during the summer period.

In the role of Job Coach, you are responsible for helping our participants find employment or guiding them towards regular studies. The role involves a strong focus on the local labor market, and the majority of your time will be spent contacting employers, matching participants with open positions, building employer networks, and selling your participants' skills.

Qualifications

Option 1

Education: University education of at least 180 higher education credits (120 credits according to the old system).

Work Experience: At least two (2) years of full-time work experience. Part-time work is also accepted if the accumulated working time equals full-time over two (2) years.

Option 2

Work Experience: At least three (3) years of full-time work experience in one or more of the following professions or tasks:

• Career guidance.

Part-time work is also accepted if the accumulated working time equals full-time over three (3) years.

Responsibilities

• Support and motivate the target group to become self-sufficient through work or studies.
• Work coaching with individuals and groups; therefore, you must have a good ability to adapt methods and interventions based on the individual's or group's needs.
• Create job plans, plan, and follow up on interventions for individuals.
• Collaborate with internal and external actors. You will work with external actors such as employers in various industries and authorities such as district administrations, employment offices, and Job Centers, so good collaboration skills are essential.
• Document your work well according to current contractual rules. Proficiency in Word is required, and experience with Excel and PowerPoint is also used in your work.

Our expectations of you

We want you, as a Job Coach applicant, to have a very clear outward-facing profile. You should enjoy contacting employers, using the phone as a work tool, presenting the skills your participants have to offer, and strive to solve each assignment quickly and effectively, ensuring the individual you work with finds employment.

As a person, you are communicative, solution-focused, and motivated by achieving results in your work. It is an advantage if you already have good knowledge of the local and regional labor market in the area and good contacts with employers in various industries.
