About the job

Do you want to help develop a modern employment initiative, where the citizen is at the center?

Do you want to work in a job center where professionalism, freedom to act, and citizen involvement go hand in hand? Then you can become part of Jobcenter Lyngby-Taarbæk and make a real difference for citizens on the path to work and education.

With us you will be responsible for citizens who need a targeted effort, where social, health, and employment-related actions must hang together. You will become part of a job center that works according to the intentions of the employment reform with a focus on dignity, trust, and professional autonomy. At the same time, you will be part of a professionally strong team where sparring and development are a natural part of everyday life.

More than just a workplace

Do you want to help develop a modern employment initiative, where the citizen is at the center?

At Jobcenter Lyngby-Taarbæk we believe that the best results are created through professional trust, curiosity, and collaboration. Therefore we work purposefully with freeing the effort so that you as a professional have the opportunity to use your expertise where it makes the biggest difference.

We use digital solutions and AI tools as an active part of our work. Not for the sake of technology, but to free up time for the citizens who need personal contact. Our approach is simple: Those who can do it themselves should do it themselves. Those who cannot should receive the help they need.

The perspectives of citizens and businesses play an important role for us. Through annual surveys we systematically ask both citizens and local companies about their experience of the collaboration. We actively use this knowledge to develop and improve our efforts.

More than professional expertise

As a social professional job consultant you will have a varied daily life with both conversations, coordination, and company-oriented actions.

Your tasks will include, among other things

  • Plan and coordinate holistic efforts for unemployed citizens
  • Support progression toward work, education, paid hours, or optimization of work ability
  • Establish and follow up on company-oriented programs in close dialogue with the business community
  • Ensure coherence between social, health, and employment-related efforts
  • Document and follow up on efforts in a systematic and professionally qualified manner

You will become part of a team that meets weekly for cross-group sparring. Here we work with systematic reflective practice and use our shared experiences to strengthen the quality of the effort. We want to develop our professional practice together and see mistakes as an opportunity for learning.

More than collegiality

With us you become part of a work community where we take our tasks and each other seriously.

We place a high value on results, but we also believe that good results come from wellbeing, competence development, and collaboration. Therefore we prioritize professional sparring, knowledge sharing, and a working environment where there is room for both ambition and humor.

We are committed to getting better together and creating the framework where it is meaningful to go to work.

About you

It is perfect if you

  • Are a trained social worker and have experience from the employment area, or are a recent graduate motivated to get to know the field
  • Want to work in a company-oriented way and see opportunities rather than limitations for citizens
  • Can coordinate complex trajectories and create coherence between different efforts
  • Work in a structured way and can maintain focus on goals, progression, and results
  • Have a knack for IT and digital solutions and see technology as a tool to create better service
  • Communicate clearly both orally and in writing
  • Thrive with responsibility, collaboration, and professional development

It is an advantage, but not a requirement, if you

  • Have experience with company service or company-oriented initiatives
  • Know employment law and the job center area
  • Have experience with interdisciplinary cooperation around citizens with complex problems
