About us

The Job and Integration House embraces both integration citizens and residents who receive cash benefits. The citizens are either close to entering work or education, or more is needed to help them on the way there. This means that we work with several target groups. What is common to these citizens is that they have daily contact with the house, and that all of them are covered by the obligation to work.

Based on the latest research and evidence, the administration focuses on employment initiatives that must be employer-oriented to be effective for both citizens and companies, with strengthened focus on education and knowledge about Danish society.

The goal for everyone is self-sufficiency, but in addition to that, to give our citizens a solid foundation to become and be active fellow citizens in the Odense community, and here you as a job advisor will have a crucial role.

The job

As a job advisor with us you will have a crucial role in the citizens' path out of unemployment.

Your daily work will be focused on job-oriented conversations. You must therefore be able to create dynamics in the process for the individual citizen so they experience continuity, movement and clearly defined agreements and goals based on applicable law. You must thus be both engaging and goal-oriented and at the same time be able to perform the authority role. Your work must, therefore, take its starting point in strong professional assessments, which, in addition to being engaging and goal-oriented, are also law-abiding.

You will work within the framework of the Danish Act on the Integration of Foreigners and the Act on an Active Employment Effort, so a good knowledge of both will be an advantage. You will also participate in cross-organizational collaborations where the goal is effective pathways with one plan for the citizen.
