We work together with authorities, municipalities, businesses, and other actors with a focus on Västra Götaland County and its 1.7 million inhabitants. The County Administrative Board has a broad scope of operations and plays a very important role in several areas of society. This applies especially to the highly relevant challenges of regional growth, implementing the green transition, developing civil defence, and nurturing democracy.

The County Administrative Board is a regional state authority with approximately 1,000 friendly and competent employees. We operate in several locations in Västra Götaland, as well as elsewhere in Sweden, as we are responsible for the IT operations for all County Administrative Boards.

About the job

The External Handling Unit plays a crucial role in the County Administrative Board's preparedness work and is responsible, among other things, for developing the authority's handling of incidents in collaboration with external actors in the county. The unit develops the County Administrative Board's preparedness organization to handle various types of societal disruptions in both peacetime and heightened readiness.
