Supervisor for Social Services in Alingsås

Welcome to Alingsås! As an employee in our municipality, you have every opportunity to contribute to the development of our operations and workplace. With nearly 4,000 employees, we are large enough to drive change and small enough for everyone to have an impact and room for their ideas. This is a place for innovators. Together, we create Alingsås!

The Employment Unit (AME) within the Social Services Department has the primary task of supporting unemployed residents in various ways to achieve sustainable self-sufficiency. AME works, among other things, on behalf of the Swedish Public Employment Service and the Support and Social Security Unit within the Social Services Department.

Do you want a job where you can contribute every day to people growing, discovering their abilities, and taking steps closer to work or studies? With us, you will have a varied and meaningful role where practical work is combined with pedagogical support, coaching, and relationship building.

Our operations offer participants the opportunity to develop their work capacity through meaningful and individually adapted tasks, where they are given the conditions to discover their strengths, build confidence, and develop the skills required for the next step towards self-sufficiency through work or studies.

We work together to create the best possible conditions for each individual. This means we take joint responsibility for the entire operation and help each other where needs arise. As an employee with us, you therefore need to thrive in a flexible environment where collaboration, lack of hierarchy, and a willingness to contribute to the whole are important parts of everyday life.

We are now looking for a supervisor for our operations.

When you start with us, we offer you:

• A secure employment
• Opportunity for holiday exchange
• Extra vacation days when you turn 40
• Competence development plan
• Parental leave supplement
• Wellness allowance and favorable discounts via E-passi

Job Description

As a supervisor with us, you have an important role in creating structure, motivation, and development for participants within our practical operations. You work closely with individuals with different conditions and needs and support them in developing their independence, responsibility, and work capacity.

The supervision can take place within our own practical operations at Actus, in collaboration with other operations within the municipality, or out at various workplaces. You will mainly supervise participants in practical work tasks within, for example, carpentry, reuse, and gardening. The role also involves supporting other parts of the operation when needed, such as the kitchen or at external workplaces where participants are located.

For the operation to function optimally, all employees need to contribute where needs arise. This means you are flexible, lack hierarchy, and see the big picture. You take joint responsibility together with your colleagues to ensure that all participants receive secure, high-quality, and developmental supervision every work shift, regardless of the work area.

Through your daily presence, you support, motivate, and coach participants in planning, adapting, and carrying out work tasks. You contribute to ensuring that each individual has the opportunity to develop based on their own conditions and move closer to work or self-sufficiency.

The work also includes:

• planning and organizing work tasks based on participants' needs and the operation's goals,
• adapting activities and work tasks to create opportunities for development and progression,
• contributing, together with case managers and occupational therapists, to mapping, assessment, and follow-up of participants' resources, obstacles, and support needs,
• documenting participants' development and progression,
• collaborating with colleagues, municipal operations, and external actors,
• contributing to the development of the operation's working methods and approaches.

You will become part of an operation where we continuously develop our working methods and where collaboration, solution focus, and participation are important parts of the work.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have:

• relevant post-secondary education, preferably higher education or university degree
• experience working as a supervisor, foreman, or similar in practical operations,
• experience in practical work, for example, in construction, carpentry, property, or service,
• experience working with people with different needs and conditions
• Category B driver's license
• good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written

It is meritorious if you have:

• experience in work-oriented rehabilitation,
• knowledge and experience of resource-strengthening methods such as MI, BIP, ACT, KUB, or work with pictorial support.

To succeed in the role, you are self-reliant and take responsibility for planning, structuring, and driving your work forward. You are flexible and adapt easily to changed conditions, seeing opportunities in development and new working methods. With good pedagogical insight, you adapt your communication and support based on the individual's needs and conditions. You also have good collaboration skills and actively contribute to a positive and solution-focused collaboration with colleagues and partners.
