Human Resources Department
Would you like to work in a qualified and broad HR role where you can combine strategic development work with operational support and close collaboration with the business? With us, you will become part of an engaged HR unit where collaboration, knowledge exchange, and joint development are central. Our HR strategists, HR specialists, and HR administrators work together within the unit, along with other parts of business support and in close dialogue with the business to create professional, coordinated, and business-focused HR support.
We are now seeking an HR Specialist with broad experience who wants to contribute to the development of our HR processes and provide qualified support to managers and the business on complex personnel-related matters.
About the Job
As an HR Specialist, you will work both operatively and strategically, providing qualified HR support to faculties, institutions, and departments. The role is broad and encompasses work within most HR processes, where you function as a trusted and independent support to managers on personnel and organizational matters.
The work involves close collaboration with colleagues within the HR unit and with other functions within business support to ensure coordination and professional support to the business. You will also actively contribute to development work related to HR processes and business development.
In this role, you will work broadly with matters such as competency supply, labor law, occupational environment, organizational change, collaboration, management support, and HR process development.
