Job Description

As an Employment Advisor within Coordinated Support, you work intensively with job seekers who need individual and often long-term support to enter or remain in the labor market. The work takes place primarily through physical meetings and close collaboration with employers, authorities, and other actors to coordinate measures based on the individual's needs. You also work with employers regarding competence supply needs and support them in broadening their recruitment.

An important part of the assignment is to inform about the Swedish Public Employment Service's services, as well as rights and obligations, and provide support on the path to work. You also handle incoming cases via telephone from both job seekers and employers with significant support needs.

To succeed in the role, you work in a structured manner and are confident in interpreting and applying laws and regulations. You document in a legally secure manner, act professionally in meetings with people, and can navigate multiple systems simultaneously. The assignment includes conducting investigative, advisory, and sometimes complex conversations, as well as working towards set goals.

Your employment begins with an introduction that gives you good conditions to succeed in the role as a state civil servant.

What We Offer

The position is a permanent full-time employment starting with a six-month probationary period. Start date by agreement. The location is Växjö and/or Ljungby.

We offer favorable vacation agreements, the possibility of flexible hours in agreement with the employer (after completing an introduction of approx. 9 weeks), workplace wellness activities, and a wellness allowance.
