Värmdö is the meeting point of the archipelago, offering a unique combination of nature's quiet beauty and a more urban lifestyle.

As an Employment Consultant, you have overall responsibility for guiding Värmdö residents into jobs, studies, or appropriate support. Your daily work involves coordinating the individual's path through mapping, action plans, decisions, and follow-ups. Since the role requires close collaboration with colleagues, authorities, and employers, you work both independently and in close cooperation. You drive the individual's process forward and act as a strategic link between the job seeker and the labor market.

You support matching with the labor market and actively work to remove barriers to the individual's establishment. Here, you collaborate closely with relevant units regarding the new activity requirement. You are also responsible for the settlement process for newly arrived immigrants, where you coordinate contacts with relevant functions and ensure that laws and guidelines are followed.

Other Requirements:

Good knowledge of the labor market and the Swedish Public Employment Service's interventions. Good administrative skills and experience with ongoing documentation in operational systems. Ability to express yourself well in speech and writing in Swedish. A B-driver's license is required as travel occurs in the position.

It is an advantage if you have:

• Experience working with labor market policy measures and subsidized employment
• Experience with documentation in operational systems
• Training in and experience with MI (Motivational Interviewing) or Supported Employment
• An established network within the business community or experience of contacts with companies

Your Personal Qualities

In this role, it is a prerequisite that you can collaborate and contribute positively to our work climate. The work requires a genuine interest in people, that you take initiative and work solution-focused. As we work in a changing world, it is important that you enjoy adapting your working style based on the needs of Värmdö residents.

We are looking for a colleague who combines good administrative structure with a secure and empathetic ability to create trust. The role assumes that you are goal-oriented and have a good understanding of the tasks and regulations of different actors. You see possibilities even in complex situations. You have a strong conviction that people who are far from the labor market can achieve sustainable establishment in working life with the right support.

We place great emphasis on your ability to collaborate and your personal suitability.
