Accounting Economist with HR Competence

"We work for an inclusive labor market"

Do you want to help create an inclusive labor market and society?

Stiftelsen Activa has been working for a more inclusive society and labor market since 1989. With operations throughout Örebro County and a committed team, we support participants who, due to disability and/or ill health, are far from the labor market.

Through individually tailored and long-term support, based on the Supported Employment method, we help people achieve work or education. We also run training courses and development projects that contribute to innovation.

Activa's vision is a labor market open to all

We believe in every person's resources and abilities and work to create conditions and room for action for the individual's own life choices. Activa conducts its operations in accordance with an established business plan that emphasizes the importance of long-term sustainable work from a social, ecological, and economic perspective, in line with the 2030 Agenda.

For this work to be carried out with quality and long-term sustainability, a secure and well-functioning organization is required, where administration is an important prerequisite for our mission to become a reality. Therefore, Activa plans during the spring of 2026 to recruit an accounting economist with HR competence for the regular operation. The position is placed within the management and administration unit, with access according to agreement.

Opportunity to contribute to a meaningful operation with societal benefits
