The Employment Unit (AME) in Ljungby has decided to expand with 1 Work Supervisor/Coach. The target group is individuals receiving social assistance, and the goal is for each participant to become self-sufficient through work or studies.

About the Role

As a Work Supervisor/Coach, you are responsible for leading the practical work for a group of 10-15 participants. The role involves active physical work and serving as a role model in the various tasks of the operation. Duties include nature conservation, moving assignments, and other service tasks performed within the municipality's operations.

A central part of the assignment is to create safety, structure, and motivation for the participants through good treatment and clear communication. You contribute to ensuring that each individual receives guidance, support, and opportunities to develop in their tasks and roles. Currently, there are 3 Work Supervisors/Coaches and 4 Job Coordinators at AME, with whom you will collaborate closely regarding each individual participant in the goal of self-sufficiency.

Organizationally, the Employment Unit is located within the same section as social assistance.
