Vacant job

Description

Now is your chance to be involved from the very beginning.

We are looking for an engaged supervisor for a full-time project position where you will help build a completely new labor market initiative based on the national activity requirement reform.

This is not a task where everything is already finished. On the contrary. We are looking for you who are driven by development, enjoy creating structure together with others, and want to be part of building something new, shaping content, working methods, and approaches in a business that will make a real difference for people. Here you get the opportunity to influence, develop, and create a business that helps people take the step towards self-support. For the right person, this is a unique opportunity to make a difference – both for the individual and for the future labor market work in Ljusdal Municipality.

From July 1, 2026, a new activity requirement will apply within the social assistance system. The reform means that municipalities must offer activities that strengthen the individual's opportunities to get closer to work, studies, and self-support. The activities should be designed based on the individual's conditions and contribute to increased work capacity, strengthened motivation, and better opportunities to establish themselves on the labor market.

With us, you will become part of the Labor Market Unit – a business that works to ensure that people receive the right support, the right opportunities, and a path towards self-support. We believe in people's ability to develop, and we know that the path there looks different for different people.

We are therefore looking for you who want to make a difference – every day.

The assignment involves collaborating with social services, the Swedish Public Employment Service, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, and other partners, as well as contributing to the development of the business and its working methods.

Qualifications

For the position, you are required to have post-secondary education in social work, behavioral science, pedagogy, or other education that the employer deems equivalent. You must also hold a Category B driver's license for manual transmission.

To succeed in the assignment, we see that you have a good understanding of the social services' mission and the role of social assistance. You work solution-focused, have personal maturity, good collaboration skills, good documentation skills, and good computer literacy. Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.

It is meritorious if you have:
