RESPONSIBILITIES

We are looking for you who are driven and enjoy working with all kinds of people!

As a Coach with us at the Employment Unit, you will work with varied tasks. In your role, you will meet people with different experiences and backgrounds. Your main focus will be on young people and KAA (Individual Plans for Social Services), but also older people who need support in their lives.

We work in a solution-focused manner, so initially, you will create joint plans together with participants, which you then follow up through development plans.

As a coach, you guide, inspire, and motivate people who are job-seeking or on sick leave but wish to move forward towards jobs or studies.

You should be comfortable leading group activities, designed together with colleagues, individual conversations, and internship coordination.

A significant part of the work also involves collaboration with colleagues within the Employment Unit and external actors such as schools, the Swedish Public Employment Service, the Social Insurance Agency, the Social Services Administration, and healthcare. It is an advantage if you feel comfortable leading and driving meetings forward.

QUALIFICATIONS

To succeed in the role of coach, you must have relevant post-secondary education for the position or work experience equivalent to what we are seeking.

The education/work experience should include, for example, social work, health, rehabilitation, pedagogy, or behavioral science.

We would appreciate it if you have experience working with employment issues. If you have extensive contacts with the business community, it is an advantage. Having experience working with people with disabilities, other social issues, newly arrived immigrants, and people of non-European origin is seen as a merit.

We would like you to have knowledge of MI (Motivational Interviewing), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), 7-tjugo, and the Supported Employment method.

To fit as a colleague with us, we want you to have great respect for each person's differences and individual needs.

We see it as a given that you believe every person can succeed with the right tools and the right support.

You are proactive and curious, while also being calm, having a good ability to listen, and being a team player.

We see that you are accustomed to handling and have experience with documentation.

We value big hearts that look out for people's best interests and believe in change. Do you want to make a real difference for people? Do you also want to have a lot of fun at work? Come to us!

A valid Category B driver's license is required.

Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.
