About the Organization

Do you want to make a real difference in people's lives? Do you have a strong commitment to helping people move closer to employment or education? Then this might be the job for you!

The Employment Unit has an important societal mission – to support and guide individuals who are outside the regular labor market towards self-sufficiency through work or studies. The unit consists of seven different work locations with varying focuses. We are also responsible for the reception and settlement of newly arrived individuals assigned to Gällivare. The municipality's summer jobs for youth and the municipal activity responsibility for young people who do not complete their upper secondary education are also tasks under the Employment Unit.

Job Description

As a Coordinator, you play a central role in working with the activity requirements under the Social Services Act (SoL), focusing on supporting individuals receiving economic assistance to move closer to the regular labor market.

As a Coordinator, you will also work together with the management group and political leadership to develop and coordinate the administration's work on various issues. The role requires great flexibility as the operations constantly face new challenges. This means that tasks may vary over time and be a combination of administrative and operational work across all our operations. As a Coordinator, you have an important function in areas such as:

  • coordination issues
  • competence supply
  • contact with schools, social services, and other internal and external actors
  • administration
  • support to managers
  • project support

Responsibility in areas such as logistics, education, and facilities may also become relevant.

Examples of concrete tasks:

  • Participate in management group meetings, for example, booking visits and taking minutes
  • Work with administration-wide assignments within competence supply
  • Execute assignments from the management group, for example, within audit reviews, work processes, and information materials
  • Collaborate with schools within both upper secondary and adult education

Qualifications

You have a university degree in, for example, social work, behavioral science, or another direction that the employer deems relevant for the position. Experience working with individuals with physical and/or mental limitations. You have good administrative skills and are accustomed to working with follow-up, economy, and have good computer literacy. To succeed in the role, you are a secure, engaged, solution-oriented colleague who is communicative and team-oriented. You are structured with good prioritization skills and are empathetic with a genuine interest in people. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
