About Us

In Gothenburg, everyone should be able to grow. Freely and independently. This requires more people to gain skills that match the needs of the labor market. And thereby jobs, self-sufficiency, and the opportunity to contribute to society. Regardless of how the journey there looks, everyone should have a place in our city. That is why the Department of Employment and Adult Education exists.

We see every individual's potential and open paths forward. By coordinating Gothenburg City's labor market initiatives and ensuring municipal adult education, we set the direction and serve as a hub for collaboration. Together with engaged entrepreneurs, academia, international companies, civil society, and other parts of the city, we work with combined force towards common goals. This strengthens individuals and one of Sweden's largest labor markets. We open opportunities, every day.

Now we are looking for you who want to make a difference!

Description

The introduction of the activity requirement represents an important step for more Gothenburg residents to receive support to enter work or studies and strengthen their opportunities for self-sufficiency. Employment and Adult Education plays a central role in this development work and is now seeking an experienced project manager who wants to lead and coordinate the implementation of the activity requirement and contribute to creating sustainable working methods in close collaboration with other departments in Gothenburg City as well as other actors.

Responsibilities

As a project manager, you are responsible for leading, coordinating, and driving the implementation of the activity requirement within Employment and Adult Education in accordance with the city's processes and the department's mandate. The role involves close collaboration with project managers and representatives from relevant departments, primarily social services, to develop common working methods and processes and ensure equal application. The assignment also includes environmental scanning and collaboration with external actors to identify and develop their potential contributions to the implementation of the activity requirement.

You are responsible for communication efforts related to the implementation in close collaboration with relevant functions and work to ensure that affected target groups receive clear, relevant, and accessible information. Furthermore, you analyze legislation and national reforms that affect the operations and assess their consequences for the department's working methods, processes, and strategic direction.

The role also includes participating in the development of related processes, such as labor market initiatives, to ensure coordinated and effective implementation. You monitor the implementation, identify areas for development, and contribute to establishing long-term and sustainable working methods within the operations.

The position is a one-year project employment with a chance of extension.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a university education of at least 180 higher education credits in fields such as social sciences, public administration, behavioral sciences, or another area that the employer considers equivalent. For the role, several years of experience in change management and experience working within labor market operations are required. You must also have previously worked in a politically governed organization. Furthermore, you have good knowledge of the social services' mandate and conditions. The role requires very good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.

You will be merit-worthy if you have documented experience of qualified project management and implementation work within the public sector.

As a person, you are driven and take responsibility, turn ideas into action, and work purposefully to achieve results, both independently and together with others. You are change-oriented and see opportunities for development and improvement. Through a pedagogical approach, you create understanding for changes and handle different perspectives and opinions in a constructive manner.

Since the work involves collaboration with both internal and external actors, you need to be collaboration-oriented and have the ability to build trusting relationships by listening, showing respect, and creating participation. You actively contribute to common goals and work to ensure that the assignment is carried out in the best possible way. You can see your work as part of a larger context and understand how your own work affects and is affected by other parts of the organization, collaborating across organizational boundaries to create value.

Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.
