About the job

Jobcenter Herlev seeks a results-oriented job advisor for a maternity cover from 1 January 2027.

In Team Jobservice we have a clear goal: Citizens in work – quickly and sustainably.

We work purposefully with unemployed recipients of unemployment benefits, job-ready welfare recipients and citizens on unemployment benefits. Our most important tools are job placements, close contact, frequent conversations and company-oriented activities, so we quickly create progression and job matching.

We are looking for you who want to make a real difference – and who are motivated to guide people into the labor market.

About the job

As a job advisor, your most important task is to get citizens into a job.

You do this through job-oriented conversations, concrete job placements and by supporting citizens in tailoring their job search so they can quickly return to work.

You are with them all the way – from the first interview to the first day at work.

We place emphasis on the following for you

  • are motivated to get the unemployed into work
  • work systematically and forward-looking with each individual citizen
  • are clear in your communication and able to set direction
  • have experience with conversations, e.g. via coaching or the motivational interview
  • have good knowledge of the LAB law (or willingness to learn it quickly)

Your tasks

  • Placement of citizens into concrete jobs
  • Individual conversations focused on self-sufficiency
  • Clarifying citizens' competencies and potential
  • CV and job-search guidance
  • Collaboration with unemployment insurance funds and other actors
  • Case processing and authority tasks

About you

You may recognize yourself in the following

  • passionate about getting the unemployed into work
  • work systematically and responsibly – even when pace is high
  • have knowledge of or interest in the labor market and its possibilities
  • can collaborate broadly, with citizens, colleagues and unemployment funds
  • thrive in a politically managed organization and can navigate rules and frameworks
  • have strong IT skills and are preferably experienced with Fasit, which we use in our daily work
  • you may be newly graduated – we will provide training and a good start

A strong team with high professional standards

You will become part of a professionally strong and engaged team, where collaboration and sparring are a natural part of everyday life. With us, job advisors, a professional coordinator, business consultants, retention consultants and benefits officers work closely together to ensure a coherent effort that works.

We offer

  • A team with good humor, strong camaraderie and a helpful approach to everyday life
  • Flexible working hours and the possibility of remote work
  • A thorough introduction with a fixed buddy in the startup period
  • Modern premises in Herlev City Centre
  • Ongoing professional development and regular sparring as a natural part of everyday life

Ready to make a difference?

Submit your application no later than 15 November.

About Herlev

Herlev is located in the heart of the capital region with a well-functioning infrastructure. Transport options to and from Herlev are good, with a commuter train station, buses and four light rail stops in the town. At the same time, Herlev offers easy access to green areas. We are in full swing developing the town so that in the future it also has a lively shopping life, an exciting city center and is attractive to live in and run a business in.

In Herlev Municipality we work ambitiously and purposefully to ensure that our offerings to citizens are also in the future at a high level. We do this by organizing the structure with a greater focus on strengthening the professional skills and supporting dialogue with citizens, as well as shortening the distance between the local political level and the municipality's employees.
