Vacant job

We are a force that connects, holds together, and develops the county. Within Region Västernorrland, we are all part of something bigger.

About the Role

Do you want to make a difference in a complex organization? Become a negotiator at Region Västernorrland!

We are now looking for you who want to use your expertise in labor law and employer issues to make a real impact. Here, you will have a central role where you contribute to developing and strengthening HR work – both strategically and operationally – to enhance the region's employer policy.

As a negotiator, you will have a qualified and developmental assignment where you represent the employer in labor law negotiations and contribute to positions on employer policy issues within the framework of laws and agreements.

You will become part of the HR Strategy and Projects unit within the Executive Office of the Region. Here, you will work alongside dedicated colleagues such as HR strategists, project managers, and the Head of Negotiations – all with a common goal: to create professional, sustainable, and efficient HR processes throughout the organization. If needed, you will substitute for the Head of Negotiations in contacts with the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKR) and regional collaboration. You report directly to the HR Director and serve as an important expert support primarily for HR colleagues, but also for managers in the organization when required.

The position is a permanent full-time role, located at Regionens Hus in Härnösand. Start date is by agreement.

Responsibilities

In the role of negotiator, you will have a varied daily routine where you, among other things:

• Provide support and guidance based on the interpretation and application of labor legislation as well as central and local collective agreements
• Serve as expert support in labor law and employer policy matters within the region
• Conduct negotiations with trade unions on behalf of the employer
• Support HR consultants in rehabilitation processes
• Conduct labor law investigations
• Develop and produce policy documents within the subject area and other labor law fields
• Provide crucial support to your HR colleagues
• Contribute to the development of the region's HR work

This is a role for you who thrives with both breadth and depth – and who appreciates working in a central function with many contact points.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who

• Has a degree in Law or Human Resources Management with a specialization in labor law, and/or other education/experience that the employer deems equivalent, combined with relevant work experience
• Has work experience in labor law negotiations as well as practical application and interpretation of laws and collective agreements
• Has very good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written
• Has experience working in the public sector

It is meritorious if you

• Have experience working in the public sector

Personal Attributes

Your personal suitability for the position is important to us. We are looking for someone who is calm, stable, and maintains control even in pressurized situations. You have the ability to maintain a realistic perspective and focus on what is important to move the work forward. You work in a structured manner by planning, organizing, and prioritizing your tasks efficiently, and you are careful to set and adhere to timeframes.

You are self-reliant and take responsibility for your assignments, independently structuring your working methods and driving your processes forward. At the same time, you have a good holistic view and understand the importance of considering the best interests of the operations in your decisions and actions. Furthermore, you adapt easily to changed circumstances and can quickly change your perspective and approach. You see opportunities in changes rather than obstacles.

We apply individual salary setting.
