About the workplace

The County Administrative Board is a driving force for a sustainable society. We work together with authorities, municipalities, business and other actors with a focus on Västra Götaland County and its 1.7 million inhabitants. The County Administrative Board has a broad range of activities and plays a very important role in several areas of society. This is especially true for the highly current challenges of regional growth and implementing the green transition, developing civil defence and nurturing democracy.

The County Administrative Board is a regional state authority with approximately 1,000 pleasant and competent employees. We have operations in several locations in Västra Götaland but also in the rest of Sweden as we are responsible for the IT operations for all County Administrative Boards.

Job Responsibilities

As an administrator here, you work together with colleagues and handle both routine, recurring tasks and new tasks where you need to figure out how to solve something yourself, as there are no established routines.

The job responsibilities include, among other things, assessing confidentiality in requests for the disclosure of public documents and handling several digital resource mailboxes. Staffing an animal welfare hotline where the public can call to report suspected animal mistreatment. Another task is to maintain contact with field personnel when they are in the field, using RAKEL, which is a communication tool. This is important and contributes to securing the external work environment for field personnel.

We currently have 11 administrators working at the offices in Vänersborg, Borås, Mariestad and Uddevalla. The tasks are performed with the office as the starting point, with the possibility of some remote work.

We are always developing our operations, so you need to be open to the fact that your job responsibilities may change over time.

Office support is a function belonging to the Veterinary and Animal Welfare Unit, which is one of the three units of the Rural Development Division. The unit's main task is to carry out inspections and supervision within the food chain. The office support function is a support service for the entire Rural Development Division but has predominantly administrative tasks for the Veterinary and Animal Welfare Unit. The division's main task is to promote sustainable, efficient and environmentally adapted agriculture, sustainable rural development, fisheries development, as well as veterinary and animal welfare issues. This means that a large part of the operations works to ensure that the EU's and Sweden's agricultural and rural policies are implemented at the regional level.
