About the Workplace

The Employment Department coordinates and implements labor market measures for individuals who are far from the labor market. Our main task is to ensure, through various measures, that our residents receiving social assistance can approach the regular labor market and become self-sufficient.

We are looking for you who want to help develop a working method within care homes that contributes to the development of our participants and creates societal benefits for the municipality.

Responsibilities

As a work supervisor, you will guide, mentor, and coach our participants in their daily work tasks as well as on their path toward employment, studies, or other legal means of support.

The role involves close collaboration with managers and staff in the municipality's operations. With a solution-oriented approach, you create good conditions and new opportunities for our target group. You will primarily supervise participants in simpler service tasks found in care homes. In your work, you collaborate with consultants to create plans for the participants you supervise. On the unit, we also work together in various teams, meaning you may occasionally need to cover other workplaces and supervise other participants.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people and seeing their abilities and development. We value independence in your work and focus on collaboration. In all your interactions, you should maintain a pedagogical, respectful, and professional attitude.

Sometimes work tasks and new priorities may arise with short notice, requiring flexibility and the ability to work independently.

Qualifications

• Minimum upper secondary education (high school diploma).
• Post-secondary education in social pedagogy, support pedagogy, or other education/experience deemed suitable by the employer.
• Experience working with forward-looking measures for people who are far from the labor market.
• Digital literacy and proficiency in MS Office.
• Valid driver's license and access to a car.

Meritorious Qualifications

• Experience working with people who need adjustments in working life due to, for example, disabilities, substance abuse issues, or language difficulties.
• Experience in leadership or previous experience as a supervisor/work supervisor.
