Data and Cross-Border Care Group, DG, Department for Health and Medical Affairs, Ministry of Social Affairs

Have you worked with data processing and data analysis? Do you enjoy varied, interesting, and often complex tasks? Then you might be the one we are looking for. In the diverse work at the Ministry of Social Affairs, we can offer a developing role where you, together with competent and engaged colleagues, contribute to societal development.

Your workday. Sweden's tomorrow.

We are now looking for an administrator for issues related to the healthcare sector's operations and governance in the health data area to the Data and Cross-Border Care Group (DG). The group is responsible for issues concerning national digital infrastructure, health data, cybersecurity, and cross-border care.

As an administrator with us, you will have several exciting responsibilities, such as monitoring the external environment and preparing and analyzing materials for the government's positions on issues concerning the government's governance and development of the health data area. You will also lead and participate in the work of planning, implementing, and coordinating initiatives related to the health data area, and you will draft propositions, letters, and departmental letters (DS). Furthermore, the administration of ongoing tasks such as answering questions, interpellations, letter responses, etc., participation in international processes and contexts, and work within the framework of the government's governance of authorities is included.

The work does not involve performing data analyses. Typical tasks involve using knowledge of data analysis and processing to find solutions that facilitate simplified and increased data sharing. For example, assisting the government in how the national digital infrastructure or various data-driven services need to be designed and regulated to function effectively. The analysis work is thus at a higher level of abstraction and is usually done together with the authorities. The work therefore requires the ability to take responsibility for, drive, and lead authorities in analyses that are at the system level.
