About the job
Specialist 1 Unemployment Fund fixed-term for 2 years 80 - 100%In the interest of employees and companies, the Office for Labor (AFA) contributes to strengthening the location Zurich. The labor market policy competencies are bundled in the AFA. Around 650 employees work at over 20 locations. The Unemployment Fund (ALK) is a service organization of the Office for Labor (AFA). The ALK's mandate is to clarify entitlement as well as to calculate and pay benefits of the unemployment insurance (ALV).
To strengthen the existing unemployment compensation team (ALE) at the Leonardo location in Oerlikon, we are looking for 10 new colleagues immediately or by arrangement to support the surrounding cantons in processing benefit orders. The place of work for the positions is fixed in Oerlikon, as the other cantons are supported from there. This team is being completely newly built – if you want to be part of this exciting development, then get in touch!

- You check benefit claims and calculate unemployment compensation reliably and carefully
- You issue first-instance decisions and ensure that payments are made correctly and promptly

Your profile:
- You have completed a 3-year commercial basic training or an equivalent commercial education, as well as initial experience in qualified case processing in a private or social insurance
- Further training in the field of social insurance is an advantage – or you are eager to develop further in this area
- You work process-oriented, efficiently, like to make decisions, and have a strong flair for numbers
- You enjoy teamwork – you are curious, interested in legal issues, and open to new things
- You have very good oral and written German skills, good French skills would be a plus – but are not a requirement
We offer:
- A meaningful, varied activity with a lot of personal responsibility
- An established training and further education model that offers you real development opportunities within the organization
- Attractive employment conditions according to cantonal guidelines
