Description:

We are Varbergs kommun, the employer that sees the possibilities in you. Here you get to make a difference, both for others and for yourself. We are driven by the idea of simplifying people's everyday lives and realizing their dreams. We do this with the help of knowledge, innovative thinking, courage, and forward momentum. Welcome to contribute to the work towards our vision – to become the west coast's creative center. The Education and Labor Market Administration is responsible for labor-promoting measures, integration issues, and education at upper secondary and post-secondary levels. Here we create conditions for lifelong learning and opportunities for individuals to develop, study, and achieve self-sufficiency. We also contribute to a vibrant business community by taking into account development needs in the business sector and creating project initiatives, networks, and meeting places where education and business can meet. The Labor Market Unit within Varbergs kommun is in an expansive transformation process with a focus on helping more individuals find the fastest path to sustainable self-sufficiency. The Labor Market Unit is organized under the Education and Labor Market Administration and belongs to the VIA department (adult education, integration, and labor market). We work in various ways with assignments primarily from social services/livelihood support, but also from the Integration Unit, the Swedish Public Employment Service, and other parties of the Coordination Association such as the Swedish Social Insurance Agency and Region Halland. We are 25 employees today. Within the unit, there are currently initiatives such as internal and external work training, job-seeking activities, internship placements, business contacts, work capacity assessments, and various educational initiatives, etc. Would you like to be part of developing this important and exciting operation further? 2 position(s). WORK TASKS The unit's and job coaches' assignment includes working with participants towards self-sufficiency, leading group activities, and actively working to find possible paths forward. This can mean finding potential employers, maintaining relationships with them, and matching participants with possible employment opportunities or finding paths towards studies or other self-sufficiency. QUALIFICATIONS Required is that you have relevant university education as a behavioral scientist, social worker, study and career advisor, occupational therapist, or other appropriate education that the employer deems equivalent, and we place great importance on personal suitability and experience. Experience from work at, for example, the Swedish Public Employment Service, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, and/or the Swedish Correctional Service is desirable. The same applies to experience of working with individuals with harmful use/addiction and mental health issues. We are looking for someone with experience working goal-focused with the unemployed who are far from the labor market towards self-sufficiency. Therefore, it is important that you have a combination of labor market knowledge and knowledge within behavioral science. It is very important that you are driven, goal-focused, and a network builder with a good ability to see the whole picture. To succeed in this role, you need to be skilled at communicating with colleagues, participants, and employers. You should be passionate about service – enjoy creating new and maintaining relationships. It is desirable if you have local knowledge and contacts within the labor market in the surrounding area. Good collaboration skills and ability to structure your work are important. You are flexible and see development as a natural part of work. You are used to independent work and collaborating in groups. You are good at expressing yourself both verbally and in writing in Swedish. Salary form: Monthly salary. Employment form: Permanent employment. Duration: Start date: 2026-09-01. Varbergs kommun has a political decision regarding desired employment level. This means that employees have the right to work full-time or desired part-time. For this recruitment, we have carefully selected which advertising venues we wish to advertise in and therefore ask that you refrain from contacting advertisers and staffing companies!
