Vacant job

The city of Västerås has removed the personal letter from the application process. We do this to achieve a better and fairer recruitment process. When you submit your application, you will be required to answer a number of questions that will become an important part of our selection work.

Do you want to contribute your communication skills to an organization that affects many people? The city of Västerås is now looking for a temporary communicator focusing on the health and social care administration.

You will plan, coordinate, and work practically with communication within the health and social care administration's operations. In this role, you will analyze communication needs, identify target groups, and formulate messages tailored to the purpose and audience.
