Administrative Officer at Lerum Municipality

Lerum Municipality is known for its scenic locations with lakes and forests. The municipality has 3,200 employees and 43,000 residents but expects to grow significantly in the coming years. Lerum is only a 20-minute commute from Gothenburg and is currently undergoing a development-intensive period with many exciting projects underway, ranging from schools to housing. The municipality works to ensure good service, high welfare, and a thriving business climate.

Recently, Dagens Samhälle named Lerum the winner in the category of metropolitan municipalities (2025) - an award based on a comprehensive comparison of 290 Swedish municipalities in areas such as education, healthcare, economy, culture and leisure, attractiveness, business, and future factors such as digitalization and civil preparedness. We are now a Super Municipality!

The Authority Operations area is responsible for the exercise of authority within social services. This area consists of seven units, one of which is the administrative unit. The responsibilities of the administrative unit include, among other things, the reception of social services, handling mail, orders, invoice management, fee processing, contract administration, preparing documents for the board, and other administrative tasks. It is a varied assignment, where the unit is expected to be a competent administrative support with a high level of service.

The municipality is currently working on transitioning to the new social services law, and the administrative unit will play an important role in this work.

The unit consists of approximately nine employees who provide administrative support to the operations area. The employees take great responsibility and have good collaboration both within their own unit and with other units.

We are now looking for someone who, with knowledge and commitment, wants to help us ensure quality, develop, and digitalize the administration within Lerum's social services. It is also important that you recognize the significance of a professional and positive atmosphere in the workplace and contribute to this.

Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis.
