You will also have the opportunity to provide internal cultural heritage support to other areas of operation within the County Administrative Board.

The work also includes advising and contacting authorities, municipalities, companies, and individuals. We take joint responsibility for the unit's assignments, and you will therefore contribute to continuously developing our working methods.

The County Administrative Board's operations and role in community building processes require that you can see issues from different perspectives to make the right decisions and that you can place your work in a larger societal context.

As a person, you are secure and stable and demonstrate professional judgment and personal maturity. You work service-oriented, take responsibility for your tasks, and have the ability to prioritize and complete your work. You need to be skilled at expressing yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing.
