Vacant job

Are you passionate about coaching, development, and making a real difference – while also wanting to work in a varied and independent role? Then you might be the person we are looking for!

At Iris, we work every day to strengthen people's self-confidence, hope for the future, and opportunities to take the next step in their careers. We are now opening our operations in Uppsala with "Rusta och Matcha" (Prepare and Match) as well as transition assignments, and we are looking for you who are skilled, engaged, and self-directed as a coach and want to help build our team.

About the Role
As a Career Coach, you support individuals facing change in the labor market – this may include job coaching for the unemployed, career transitions, new career paths, or retraining needs. Participants may have or not have a need for health-adapted interventions. You work closely with participants through individual meetings, follow-ups, and continuous coaching.

In addition to daily and ongoing administration, your tasks include:

• Independently coaching participants towards employment or studies.
• Leading individual coaching sessions focused on career guidance and change support.
• Mapping competencies, formulating goals, and creating individual development plans.
• Supporting participants in job hunting, CV and application work, as well as educational choices.
• Matching participants' competencies with employers' needs and building networks.
• Collaborating with employers, authorities, and other relevant actors.
• Working in a goal- and result-oriented manner based on set requirements and goals.

You plan and structure your work independently – in close dialogue with participants and the responsible manager. The role also involves travel within the entire county, as coaching can take place in several locations. Therefore, a B-driver's license is meritorious. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.

Who are we looking for?
We believe you are a person who creates security, engagement, and motivation in your interactions and who achieves results. You are good at listening, analyzing, inspiring, and networking – and you are driven by seeing others grow and reach their goals. You are also diligent with deadlines and comfortable handling multiple parallel tasks and working with participants both individually and in groups.

You need to have:

• At least 7 years of working life experience (full-time).
• At least 3 years of coaching experience within the last 7 years.
• Documented coaching competence and the ability to support people in change.
• Good knowledge of the local labor market and established employer contacts.
• Understanding of social systems such as the Swedish Public Employment Service, the Social Insurance Agency, etc.

can, for example, be within working life, behavioral science, psychology, study and career guidance, social work programs, or education in job coaching (university college, university).

Meritorious if you have experience with

• Work-oriented rehabilitation, at least three years.
• Coaching individuals with physical or mental illness.
• Experience in acquiring trial employment and internship placements.
• Very good digital skills and knowledge of digital job-seeking tools.
• Collaboration with actors within the rehabilitation chain and labor market legislation.

With us, you get:

• A meaningful assignment where you make a difference every day.
• Independence in work combined with collegial support.
• Competence development and the opportunity to develop in your coaching role.
• A warm, inclusive, and unpretentious team where we help each other move forward.

Iris offers transition support, career coaching, and job coaching, with and without health-adapted services, for established transition organizations, the public sector, and private employers. The support includes personal meetings, activities, and interventions designed according to each participant's conditions and goals based on respective agreements with the customer. We work to strengthen individuals' work ability and enable paths to work, studies, or self-employment.
