The Church of Sweden in Lund is a parish with 7 congregations, 1 cathedral, 15 churches including a cooperative church with EFS, 3 chapels, and 2 preschools, burial services, and an office.

Additionally, we have Hospital Chaplaincy, Family Counseling, and a Diaconal Center. There are over 200 employees and many volunteers, including over 130 elected representatives.

About the Role

As an HR Generalist in Lund's parish, you will work closely with the operations and be there for managers in both small and large matters. You are both a safe sounding board in everyday life and an active force in the development of our work life.

This is a broad and responsible role with a lot of operational HR work and administration, but also clear space for analysis, development, and improvement. Together with me as HR Manager, you will keep processes, documentation, and follow-up together, which requires you to be able to plan, prioritize, and ensure that things get done on time.

The role also includes a specific responsibility for workplace environment issues in the parish. Together with me as HR Manager, you will drive the development of structures, working methods, and culture for a sustainable, safe, and well-functioning work life.

Your Main Responsibilities

• Be responsible for and develop the workplace environment work throughout the parish
• Lead and further develop the work in the workplace environment committee, including planning, follow-up, and implementation of decided measures
• Work operationally in our HR and workplace environment systems, such as IA for incident and near-miss reporting

You will be based at the parish office in central Lund, together with colleagues in HR, communication, finance, law, IT, and property management.

• Good knowledge of workplace environment issues, especially systematic workplace environment work
