Vacant job

Jobbtorg Young Järva is looking for you to make a difference for Stockholm's youth!

Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone who lives here today and in the future. Now we are looking for you who want to think big, new, and different with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Stockholm is flourishing as the country's leading growth region. We work for a labor market where everyone can find their place – where employers find the right competence and where people get a chance to enter or return to working life. We support Stockholmers' journey towards work or studies through labor market initiatives and adult education.

This is Jobbtorg Stockholm

Jobbtorg Stockholm is a department within the labor market administration of Stockholm City that works with labor market initiatives. We provide support to young and adults who are outside the labor market – through conversations, coaching, collaboration, and educational pathways. Around 500 employees work with us across 24 units throughout the city.

Those of us who work within Jobbtorg Stockholm:

• Work towards goals and change direction when conditions change
• See the big picture and take into account the larger perspective
• Share knowledge and collaborate with colleagues

As an employee, this means demonstrating high self-leadership, and as a manager, it means demonstrating trust-based leadership.

Welcome to Jobbtorg Young Järva – part of Jobbtorg Stockholm

At this unit, we are 19 employees: job coaches, study and career counselors, administrative support, and the unit manager. Our culture is characterized by engagement, flexibility, strong team spirit, and a genuine focus on believing in and supporting our participants. We are a cheerful and driven group that strives for results but above all for every individual to succeed.

Our mission

Jobbtorg Young supports young adults aged 19–29 who are outside work and studies. Our mission is to strengthen the individual's opportunities for self-sufficiency through individually adapted support, guidance, and coaching towards work or studies. Together with the participant and in close collaboration with employers and other actors, we create sustainable pathways to work and studies.

Where we are

In your role, you will base yourself in our modern premises in Kista, close to public transport, but you will also work at our other offices around the city.

A day with us

No day is like the other. During the day, you meet participants in individual conversations where you work towards their goals for work or studies. You coach, motivate, and support everything from job hunting and CV writing to contacts with employers and educational providers.

A large part of the work takes place in collaboration with other actors, such as social services, the Swedish Public Employment Service, and employers. You document your work, follow up on participants' development, and adapt support based on their needs. Some days also involve study visits, workplace visits, or group activities.

At our place, collaboration, engagement, and a solution-focused approach are a natural part of everyday life.
