HR Consultant for Enskede Årsta Vantör

Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone living here today and in the future. We are now looking for someone who wants to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Are you confident in coaching managers and independently managing personnel issues? Do you have a genuine interest in supporting managers with varied personnel-related questions? We are now seeking a collaborative and driven HR consultant who enjoys being challenged in the role of managerial support.

For the right person, there is a great opportunity to create positive change in the department's work with, for example, staffing strategies, collaboration and negotiation, as well as the development and follow-up of key performance indicators.

Do you recognize yourself in the description above? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

Welcome to the HR Unit

With us, you will be part of a knowledgeable and engaged workgroup where we have fun together in a sometimes demanding job. We believe that close collaboration and shared learning are the keys to well-being and success at work, and therefore we make sure to benefit from each other's experiences and different skills.

The unit's mission is to provide consultative and qualified support to the department's managers in all HR areas. We aim to make it easy to do the right thing – for both managers and employees. Therefore, we work closely with the operations to create sustainable solutions. The unit is led by a unit manager and consists of seven HR consultants, two communicators, and one archive assistant. There is also a payroll controller as an HR resource. HR issues are highly prioritized in the department, and there is a strong interest and commitment from both management and managers in the organization.

Your Role as HR Consultant

As an HR consultant, you will work as a generalist and provide qualified support to managers in one or more departments. The managerial support includes, among other things, legal and contractual interpretation, restructuring issues, misconduct cases, union collaboration and negotiation, rehabilitation, and support for change management. You will participate in collaboration groups and be the HR representative in the department's management group.

In addition, you will also have the opportunity to develop within one or more specialist areas where you will take overall responsibility for environmental monitoring, develop the process, support management and colleagues in the area, and follow up on questions comprehensively for the entire department. The strength of the HR unit is that we work as a team – you will always have knowledgeable colleagues to bounce ideas off while you independently drive and take responsibility for your tasks. In the role, you will have the opportunity to continue developing and improving HR support by initiating working methods and approaches that promote our mission and our set goals.

Who Are We Looking For?

To succeed in the role, you need to have:

• a bachelor's degree with a focus on personnel and labor issues or equivalent education that the employer deems equivalent.
• solid and current experience of having worked in a broad and qualified HR role where you have provided consultative support to managers.
• very good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing.
• good digital skills and experience of working in various personnel systems.

It is meritorious if you have experience from HR work in municipalities or regions and feel comfortable leading workshops, conducting training initiatives, and giving presentations.

We are looking for someone who is particularly skilled at establishing trusting relationships, has a pedagogical ability, and can convey complex information in an accessible way. You find it easy to manage changing conditions and requirements and have a problem-solving approach. Furthermore, you are persistent and have good experience in supporting and driving complex personnel issues.

We will place great importance on your personal qualities and competencies.

We Offer

With us, you will be part of a wonderful workgroup with qualified colleagues and receive support from an engaged unit manager who offers close leadership. We offer wellness benefits, and you have the opportunity to purchase a very favorable annual pass to Stockholm's municipal swimming pools, including gyms. In addition, you will receive a flexible working hours agreement and winter and summer working hours, as well as the possibility of vacation exchange.
