Description:

Tranås Municipality is implementing a focused, cross-departmental initiative from 2024-2028 aimed at the municipality's young people, with the overarching goal of creating a safe environment for children in the municipality.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES You will help continue developing the project's working methods, with your main task being to work with young people's motivation toward school and leisure activities.

At the group level, this involves group activities and information sessions for students at school, both during and after school hours.

In addition to direct contact with children, the work involves extensive contact with guardians.

You both initiate and participate in collaborative projects for and with children and young people together with other actors within culture and leisure services such as the library, swimming pool, and music school, as well as with individual and employment services, sports associations, and others. Since the project collaborates closely with the municipality's youth activities, assignments may also occur within that service area.

It is an asset to have a local network and knowledge of the municipality's work with children and young people as well as the municipality's community organizations.

Collaboration: You work well with other people. You relate to them in a responsive and smooth manner. You listen, communicate, and resolve conflicts constructively. We place great emphasis on personal suitability. ABOUT THE WORKPLACE You will be part of a team consisting of five people, including a project manager.
