About the Workplace

The Employment Administration in Helsingborg is responsible for the city's adult education, labor market initiatives, and management of financial assistance. We are nearly 400 employees with various competencies, aiming to enable adults to become self-sufficient. We also want to genuinely contribute to meeting employers' needs for skills supply. In the administration, we also have support functions organized under the operational area of staff with HR, finance and governance, communication, security and preparedness, as well as digitization and development.

The Employment Administration in Helsingborg is facing exciting development, and we are now looking for a driven and experienced HR consultant who wants to become a central part of our HR unit. Here you will play an important role where you combine broad HR work with a clear focus on supporting our managers and developing the organization forward.

• Focus on Development: The administration has a stated need to develop work around recruitment and increase support to managers in this area. You are expected to actively drive and develop these processes in collaboration with your colleagues and managers throughout the administration.
• We are a small unit, and we constantly work on developing and being responsive to the needs of the operations. Therefore, it may be relevant to prioritize within the group and take on larger areas of responsibility within some other HR processes.
• You will also collaborate and work together with other HR employees in the city within various working groups and networks.

• Education: A university degree (at least 180 credits) in personnel and labor issues, behavioral science, or other education that the employer deems equivalent, as well as basic labor law.
• Experience: Several years of experience in HR work as a generalist.
• Knowledge: You are confident in interpreting and applying laws and collective agreements, particularly in labor law. Good knowledge of the collective agreement HÖK/General Provisions is a significant plus.
• Meritorious: It is highly meritorious if you have experience in developing recruitment processes and/or have worked with recruitment as a major part of your assignment. Experience from the public sector is also meritorious.
