Job Responsibilities

As a committee secretary, you will have a central role in the political work of the municipality. You will collaborate with various political committees and boards. Currently, the tasks focus on the municipal executive board, the social committee, the culture and leisure committee, and AB Vaberget. The main task of the committee secretary is to compile notices and decision materials for committee meetings, participate in the meeting, take minutes, and support the chairperson. Other tasks occurring within the unit may also be relevant.

Since the secretariat unit works cross-administratively, you may need to cover for absent colleagues during, for example, vacations and illness.

Experience in committee administration and document management is advantageous, as well as familiarity with digital work. We work with the document and case management system Ciceron.
