WE WANT SWEDEN'S HAPPIEST RESIDENTS. ARE YOU WITH US?

In Flens Municipality, we are investing in building something long-term. A society where people thrive, grow, and stay. Our new and bold vision, Flen – Sweden's Happiest Municipality, is more than just words. It is a direction we have chosen together and a reminder of who we are here for. In every meeting with a resident, in every decision we make, in every day we shape – we should think with our hearts. And it starts with us. We are now looking for an Administrative Officer for the Department for Children and Young People as well as the Reception Unit.

HERE ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

As an Administrative Officer on our Authority Department, you will become a central part of our team and contribute to a smooth and efficient operation. Your tasks are varied and span several important areas, where you will have the opportunity to use your attention to detail, organizational skills, and service-oriented attitude.

In this role, you are responsible for handling invoices and orders, ensuring correct fee processing, and checking payments of allowances to contractors. You will also work with personnel administration, handle mail and archiving, and provide administrative support in case processing to facilitate the work of colleagues and managers. As a key link in the operations, you act as support to managers, which means you will have a broad and significant role with great impact on the department's daily work.

Here, you will work in a pleasant and supportive environment where good atmosphere and collaboration are in focus. You will become part of a team with experienced colleagues and join a group with other administrators on the department, giving you the opportunity for shared learning and development.

FOR THIS ROLE, YOU MUST:

• Have basic eligibility for university studies through a complete upper secondary education with passing grades in Swedish, English, and Mathematics.
• Have experience in administrative work.
• Have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.
• Hold a valid Category B driver's license.

YOUR PERSONAL QUALITIES

We believe you are a person who enjoys juggling many threads – and does so with both precision and joy. You are flexible and adapt smoothly when the workday takes new turns, while being service-oriented and meeting colleagues, managers, and external contacts with engagement and sensitivity. Your problem-solving skills help you find smart solutions, even when extra thought is required. And above all: you take responsibility for your tasks and ensure things are done the right way, at the right time.

Here, you are an important part of a team where your competence and personal qualities make a difference.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

WHY WORK WITH US?

In Flens Municipality, we want to give you good conditions to thrive both at and outside of work. We offer, among other things, holiday exchange, wellness benefits, and reimbursement for patient fees up to the high-cost protection ceiling – and there are more benefits than that. Many of our workplaces also have good commuting opportunities. You can read more about what it is like to work with us on the municipality's website: flen.se (https://flen.se).
