Do you want to help coordinate and drive Uppsala Municipality's work with crisis preparedness and civil defense? Do you want to be part of an organization with high ambitions to develop and strengthen society's preparedness for crises and wars? Do you have the ability to turn complex issues and long-term assignments into action? If so, you might be the one we are looking for to fill the position of crisis preparedness coordinator in Uppsala Municipality!

At the unit for crisis preparedness and civil defense at the Municipal Executive Office, we work long-term and sustainably to strengthen and develop the municipality's crisis preparedness and capability for civil defense. We are now looking for two committed and driven crisis preparedness coordinators to join our unit.

The deteriorating security political situation affects us all and places new and greater demands on municipalities to handle both peacetime crises and heightened readiness. As a crisis preparedness coordinator in Uppsala Municipality, you contribute to strengthening the municipality's preparedness while having the opportunity to develop alongside competent colleagues.

The unit for crisis preparedness and civil defense is responsible for supporting and coordinating the municipal group's work with crisis preparedness and civil defense. This includes process management and development assignments, training, exercises, investigations, participation in the county administrative board's network, and contacts with other authorities. The unit is located at the Municipal Executive Office but works on assignments throughout the municipality. Many developmental meetings and insights into others' operations are therefore enriching elements and are often highlighted by employees as particularly positive.

Our workplace is in the City Hall, located just a stone's throw from Uppsala Central Station. If the work allows, there is an opportunity to work remotely on certain days of the week.
