Study and Career Advisor/Coach for the Youth Unit

**About the Workplace** The welfare of the future is our major challenge. To meet this challenge, we at the Employment Administration have a very important mission: We aim to enable residents receiving financial assistance to become self-sufficient as quickly as possible, while also helping employers find the right skills. The Youth Unit was established in October 2025. The unit's mission is to work with young people aged 18 to 29 who are neither working nor studying. The City of Helsingborg aims to reduce this group by 20% by 2035. A portion of this target group receives social assistance. The unit needs to explore new working methods to achieve its goals and collaborate with other organizations in the city. **Job Responsibilities** As a Study and Career Advisor with us, you will work to coach, guide, motivate, and follow up with residents that the Youth Unit serves, both individually and in groups. Your role is to coach and motivate young people to pursue studies or employment. Education is often the focus for this target group, and it is a challenging task to motivate them to take the next step. Therefore, you need to be someone who enjoys difficult challenges in your work and is creative in how you approach them, as well as being persistent. Based on the city's educational goals, you will also need to support residents in their interactions with adult education, other educational providers, employers, etc., so that residents receive the right support to follow through with their plans leading to regular employment. You will meet young people where they are, which means you will spend more time out in the city at various meetings than at a desk. We also see a need to work more on social media, where you will be part of that effort. The job may involve working evenings and weekends on occasion. Administrative work, including documentation, is also part of the role. This is a varied and stimulating assignment with great opportunities for personal and team development. The role requires you to adapt to changing conditions on a daily basis. **Qualifications** - Academic degree (180 credits according to the new system) in study and career guidance. - At least 3 years of experience in study and career guidance. - Familiarity with using digital systems. - Ability to express oneself verbally and in writing in Swedish. **Meritorious** - Coaching certification. - Good knowledge of labor market issues. - Experience working with the age group. **Working in the City of Helsingborg** Do you want to help create a better city together with the residents of Helsingborg?
