Are you a professional, responsible, and flexible person with a strong ability to understand a wide range of different matters at all levels? Do you also have the ability to support our political organization and administration with case preparations and train your colleagues in the board process? Then you would thrive with us at the office unit in Sala Municipality.
About the Workplace
The office unit houses the municipality's combined resources for board administration. We offer you an educational and versatile job at a workplace where we support each other in big and small matters while being driven by continuous development and improvement. Together with competent and responsible colleagues, you will be an important part of the board secretariat's work. We make the operations better every day with commitment, joy, and a positive outlook.
Job Responsibilities
With us, you will be one of four board secretaries responsible for Sala Municipality's board process by preparing meetings, organizing decision handling, and supporting case officers with documentation. You will work for one or more boards and have close contact with the board chair and office manager.
Beyond secretarial, administrative, and coordination work for the boards, you will be involved in developing, streamlining, and quality assuring routines and processes. Together with other secretaries, you will quality review decision documentation and provide advice to case officers and managers on matters concerning political handling of cases. Furthermore, you will participate in various projects aimed at driving development issues related to the case process and, to some extent, investigate and draft your own cases. The office unit is responsible for conducting elections in the municipality, and election-related work and planning may therefore occur in this position.
Evening duty may occur approximately once per month.
Qualifications
To be a good board secretary, you need to be both flexible and structured while being service-oriented with strong interpersonal sensitivity. It is important that you enjoy building relationships, as good cooperation is crucial in this role.
We are looking for someone with higher education in public administration, law, or other education that the employer deems equivalent, or experience working as a board secretary or similar tasks. We would appreciate if you have knowledge and experience working in a politically governed organization. You also need to have very good knowledge of the Swedish language, as this is a basic requirement for the position.
You need to have an organized working method and be able to handle multiple tasks in parallel, sometimes with tight deadlines. To drive development forward, you need to be an experienced user of digital tools and working methods.
We would appreciate if you are unpretentious, responsive, and have a good ability to manage several parallel processes.
We would like to meet someone with drive and enthusiasm who feels ready to take on the responsibility for this important role.
Great importance is placed on personal suitability.
