Become our new Career Consultant in Värnamo!

WHO ARE WE?

Jobcenter works on behalf of the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen) with the service "Rusta och Matcha 2" (ROM2). "ROM2" is a program for those who have been job seekers for a while and are assessed by the Employment Service to need support in their job search. As a Career Consultant with us, you support and help job seekers move forward into employment or studies. We are a growing company with big goals and visions – we hope you want to be part of this journey!

ABOUT THE POSITION:

• Career Consultant on a part-time basis, initially 50%, located at our office in Värnamo. Good opportunities to increase the percentage of employment if working in nearby areas as well.
• Six-month probation period, with the possibility of a permanent contract. Start date as soon as possible according to agreement.

Monthly salary according to agreement.

As a Career Consultant at Jobcenter, you will help develop and build up the operations at your office. Part of the work involves working individually with participants, while the rest of the time you will focus on your existing network of employers, as well as developing and expanding this network to optimize the chances of matching your participants with the right employer. Collaborating with local and regional education providers is also part of your work, as education is an optional alternative for participants.

As a career consultant, you map out your participants' skills and goals, and together you create a joint plan for the future that you follow. You ensure that CVs and cover letters are of the highest quality, coach for interviews, and support participants with conversations and digital development when needed.

The duties also include administrative work in our internal systems and reporting to the Employment Service. You will also be responsible for planning and holding weekly activities, such as group activities with participants.

• Positive: You are service-oriented and find satisfaction in motivating and helping others.
• Responsible: You take great personal responsibility, are patient and goal-oriented, have good communication skills, and the ability to plan and work systematically.

You are also a good administrator and are computer literate, as the position involves some digital administrative work for reporting and documentation. Handling email, internet, Microsoft Teams, Office suite, etc., is necessary.

Experience with systems such as Workbuster and the Employment Service's "My pages for independent actors" is meritorious.
