At the same time, we are committed to providing legally secure and equal service to our citizens. Together, we get Sweden to work! Do you want to join us?

The Section's Mission

Within special sections of the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen), there are specialists for job seekers with visual, hearing, and deafness impairments. The specialists include audiologists, deaf consultants, visual impairment specialists, psychologists, and employment mediators with a focus on SIUS.

The section is responsible for the counties of Södermanland, Västmanland, Uppsala, and Gävleborg, although other counties in the North Region may also be included. Our goal is to create full participation and equality for people with the aforementioned disabilities by providing support and creating conditions for employment or education.

Job Description

SIUS stands for Special Introduction and Follow-up Support – a method aimed at supporting people with disabilities to find, obtain, and keep a job. The method is based on individually adapted support for both the job seeker and the employer to create long-term and sustainable employment.

As an employment mediator with a focus on SIUS, you play a key role in contributing to a more inclusive labor market. You work to identify and highlight the job seeker's skills, abilities, and motivations, with the goal of matching these against employers' needs.

An important part of your assignment is to actively and proactively engage in outreach to employers. You take the initiative to establish and develop business contacts, promote the Swedish Public Employment Service's support to employers, and create new employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The work also involves continuously processing the labor market in the county where you operate, following up on contacts, and building long-term collaborations with companies and organizations.

You collaborate closely with colleagues within the section and with other actors, where you together contribute to more job seekers taking the step into the labor market.

The position involves regular travel within Södermanland, but travel within the North Region may also occur.
