HR Specialist at the Discrimination Ombudsman

The Discrimination Ombudsman (DO) is seeking an engaged HR specialist who wants to work towards a society free from discrimination. As an HR specialist, you will work in a broad HR role where you will have the opportunity to contribute to well-functioning HR processes and support our managers and operations together with colleagues in HR. The position is a permanent employment.

DO is a growing authority and is expected to grow further in the coming years as a result of the Swedish implementation of the EU directive on pay transparency.

HR Section

The HR section is one of three sections within the operational support unit at DO. The other sections in the unit are the finance and procurement section and the infrastructure section. The unit's mission is to contribute in various ways to the implementation of the authority's mission.

The HR section's mission is to contribute to ensuring that the authority has a professional workforce and leadership, a good and sustainable work environment, and competence supply, as well as active work against discrimination and for equal rights and opportunities. The section is responsible for providing support, coordination, and development of the authority's strategic and ongoing HR processes, as well as providing consultative support to managers within HR areas. This responsibility includes ensuring that agreements and internal governing documents within the HR area comply with applicable regulations and align with the state employer policy. Furthermore, the section is responsible for informing, collaborating, and negotiating with employee organizations on employer- and operational-related issues, as well as informing and collaborating with safety representatives on work environment issues.

The section consists of two HR specialists, an HR coordinator, and an HR manager. Due to the fact that we are a growing authority, recruitment is also ongoing for two HR specialists on fixed-term contracts.
