Are you at the beginning of your HR career and want to develop in a broad and varied role?

You do not need to know everything from the start, but we are looking for you who have an education in HR, strong drive, and thrive in an environment where change, development, and new ways of working are a natural part of everyday life.

Here you will have the opportunity to work engaged to maintain a professional and business-oriented HR support for managers and employees. Does this sound like something for you? Read on!

About the role

You will belong to the Garrison Unit at the Life Guards. The role is part of the personnel department where you will be one of two employees and work closely with the HR Manager, who is also your direct supervisor.

The HR Manager is initially responsible for operational and developmental HR work, and together you will drive daily personnel work and provide support to the business. The personnel function supports three units with varied operations where both military and civilian managers operate at different levels. In total, the operations cover approximately 30 managers and around 250 employees, which means many contact surfaces and a broad variation in daily work. As the organization is newly established, it is still in development, which means that working methods and areas of responsibility may change over time.

Main responsibilities

In the role, you will work closely with the HR Manager with a main focus on recruitment and HR administration. You will support managers through the entire recruitment process and contribute to the induction of new employees. The work also includes administrative HR processes and personnel matters, where you, among other things, prepare decision support materials, reports, and handle administration in various HR systems.

Furthermore, you will provide support and guidance to managers in personnel-related issues and be an operational support in daily HR work.

We are looking for you who are non-hierarchical and find it easy to collaborate with others. You are driven, proactive, and enjoy taking responsibility for your tasks. The role requires that you are solution-oriented, flexible, and confident in working in an operation where conditions and needs may change over time. You have a service-oriented and consultative approach towards managers and colleagues, as well as a good ability to handle several parallel tasks simultaneously. We also see that you are curious and unafraid to take on new tasks and have a desire to develop within the HR field.
