Do you believe the best part of work is the people you meet and the positive change you can contribute to? Would you like to work with a dedicated team to create financial stability and a brighter future for our residents? Then you might be the person we're looking for! Who are we? The Skills Development Office's mission is to make the future workforce visible and be an active part in solving Norrköping's skills supply needs. With our shared resources and professional expertise, we are a central player internally and externally for society's growth and individual development. We design effective and flexible training programs based on skills supply needs and career transitions in the labor market, with initiatives for those far from the job market. We give our residents the opportunity to grow and develop, where the path to self-sufficiency should be as short as possible. This increases residents' quality of life where more people take responsibility and contribute to a sustainable future. Skills development is the word that unites us in our mission across all the activities we work for. In the office, we have approximately 400 employees responsible for support services under the Social Services Act, municipal labor market measures, budget and debt advice, and adult education from Swedish for immigrants to vocational colleges. We provide administrative support to the Skills Development Committee. Within economic assistance, we are part of the ultimate safety net and meet people who have found themselves in a difficult situation. Our task is both to investigate the right to economic assistance and to guide the person toward self-sufficiency. Economic assistance consists of five units, of which the specialist and control unit is one. The unit works with specializations including debt recovery, dental care, appeals, incorrect payments, sampling, estate administration, and budget and debt advice. The unit employs dedicated social workers, appeals handlers, and senior social workers. Now we are looking for a new dedicated colleague for budget and debt advice!
