Vacant job

As part of our operations, Folkuniversitetet, among many other things, carries out several different initiatives on behalf of the Swedish Public Employment Service, one of which is "Rusta och Matcha". The purpose of this initiative is to help job seekers move on to employment or further regular studies. We are now looking for a person who is ready to work with this assignment in Olofström during the summer period.

In the role of Job Coach, you are responsible for helping our participants find a job, or alternatively, helping the job seeker move on to regular studies. The work involves a very strong focus on the surrounding labor market, and the main part of your time will be spent contacting employers, matching your participants with vacant positions, establishing employer networks, and selling your participants' competencies.

Our expectations of you

We want you, as the applicant for the Job Coach position, to have a very clear outward-facing profile.
