About Us

The Employment Unit in Lilla Edet is organized within the Individual and Family Care department. The unit comprises social secretaries, employment caseworkers, supervisors, project managers within integration, and other support functions. The unit is responsible for processing financial assistance, coordinating activities for the activity requirement (legal requirement from July 1, 2026), receiving newly arrived immigrants, and handling other assignments such as vacation jobs for youth, certain administrative tasks, and maintenance of the municipality's vehicles, among others.

The Employment Unit's mission is to support individuals in finding work or education, as well as to offer individual interventions that contribute to participants approaching the labor market in the long term.

Employment caseworkers work with guidance and coaching, as well as securing internship placements for participants and following up on these employer contacts. They also collaborate internally with supervisors regarding internal placements for individuals who are further from the labor market.

The Employment Unit includes Café Service, Service Service, Cirkulären, and Växthuset, which are different work stations managed by the supervisors. They receive participants and, with close support, assist them in their work and development.

Your Role

In the role of Coordinator at the Employment Unit, you will primarily supervise the employment caseworkers and supervisors. Together with the unit manager and the work group, you will develop various types of activities related to the activity requirement.

The assignment includes internal collaboration within the municipality regarding activities, as well as external collaboration with companies in the municipality or surrounding area. As a coordinator, you play a central role in the work with the activity requirement under the Social Services Act (SoL), focusing on supporting individuals receiving financial assistance to approach the regular labor market.

Who are you?

You have extensive knowledge and experience within the labor market area and are familiar with the municipality's work with financial assistance. Since a large part of the assignment involves contact with municipal operations and companies, you need to be skilled at networking and building contacts. You are experienced in documentation and providing support to caseworkers with their documentation.

In this role, you also need knowledge of work in practical operations such as café activities, green area maintenance, car care, and related workplace safety issues.

Qualifications:

• Good knowledge of legislation related to the operations
• A clear assignment- and user-focus, along with a salutogenic approach
• Experience working in IT-based operational and planning systems
