We are now looking for an HR Consultant for the Personnel Department in Arvika Municipality, as one of our colleagues has chosen to move on to new challenges.

Within the Personnel Department, there are also ten employees within payroll, as well as our Recruitment and Competence Center, which supports the group-wide recruitment, staffing, and training. Together, we work to develop Arvika Municipality as an attractive and sustainable employer.

We are looking for someone who enjoys switching between strategic development work and operational support in everyday life. You have an analytical approach and the ability to translate ideas and needs into concrete solutions that create value for the business.
