This allows Region Uppsala to fulfill its role, both regionally and nationally. Do you want to develop and contribute to Region Uppsala's development - welcome to work with us! Our Operations Region Uppsala has the state's mandate to drive regional development work in Uppsala County. The Regional Development Department works based on the regional development strategy. We coordinate and drive the county's development together with public, private, and non-profit actors, and the mandate also includes performing tasks within the EU's structural funds. We work for social sustainability and public health, strengthened collaboration on skills supply and an inclusive labor market, as well as business development, innovation, and the development of digital infrastructure. Your Assignment The position of Regional Rehabilitation Coordinator is a key role in a three-year project financed by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF). The project is coordinated regionally and encompasses seven of the county's municipalities. The role aims to support third-country nationals with low or no progression in the Swedish language, who may simultaneously have multiple complex needs, such as individuals with mental or physical health issues, trauma, or disabilities. The work assignment involves close collaboration with the seven sub-projects/municipalities, and the assignment therefore includes some travel. Work Tasks The work involves assessing individuals' needs, coordinating support measures, and helping participants in contact with healthcare and authorities. The role includes both individual support and group interventions, as well as identifying the need for further medical or psychological assessments. The rehabilitation coordinator participates in healthcare and collaboration meetings and serves as support to municipalities and project activities on healthcare-related issues. Key work tasks include assessing participants' needs and challenges, coordinating healthcare and rehabilitation measures, and providing individual support as well as conducting group interventions. You will also support participants in contact with healthcare and authorities, and collaborate with municipalities, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders. A central function is to serve as advisory support to the sub-projects. Your Qualifications The position requires relevant education in healthcare or rehabilitation, good knowledge of the Swedish healthcare and rehabilitation system, and experience coordinating between different actors. Since the position spans multiple municipalities and travel is part of the work, a driver's license (category B) is advantageous. Previous experience working with individuals with migration experience and individuals far from the labor market is a requirement, as is a good understanding of third-country nationals' particular situation and challenges. Knowledge of mental health issues, trauma, or disabilities, as well as experience with SIP (Coordinated Individual Plan) and collaboration between municipalities and healthcare, is also meritorious. Being multilingual is an advantage in the position, but not required. Your Competencies As a person, you are confident, flexible, and solution-oriented, and can build trusting relationships. You work independently, in a structured manner, and goal-driven, and you have a strong commitment to the target group. We place great emphasis on personal qualities. What We Offer We offer you the opportunity to be part of and influence development in one of Sweden's fastest-growing regions. The employment is a project position at 100% from September 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028. Start as soon as possible, by agreement.
