Vacant job

One of our communicators is on parental leave, and we are now looking for a substitute to strengthen our team from August through January 2027.

We are looking for you who want to help develop a communicative organization where openness, accessibility, and coordination are in focus. Through professional service and clear communication, we work to strengthen trust in the municipality and contribute to a strong and sustainable brand.

Your role

Here, you will become one of four communicators in a team where everyone is a generalist. This means you will work with all aspects of the communicator role, both strategically and operationally. You will lead and support operations in planning communication efforts and produce content for the municipality's various target groups. The goal is to create the best possible service and communication for our employees, residents, and visitors.

You plan, implement, and follow up on communication efforts in the municipality's various channels. The work includes, among other things, social media, the website, the intranet, the municipal newspaper Axet, as well as photography and film. As needed, you will project-manage communication assignments and act as a support in communication matters. A specific area of responsibility is to support Sector Education in their communication work and be responsible for the development of the municipality's website, vara.se, and the intranet based on the needs of operations and users.

Your knowledge and experience

We are looking for you who have a university degree in media and communication studies or equivalent as the employer assesses as relevant for the assignment. We would like you to have worked as a communicator or similar for a few years and be accustomed to driving and coordinating various types of communication assignments. However, you can also be relatively new to the profession. You are up-to-date in the field of communication and are open to trying new ways of working.

As a person, you are social with very good cooperation skills. You are receptive and have an easy time understanding the needs of operations, building relationships, and creating trust in others. You are independent, structured, and have a good ability to plan and prioritize your work in an effective way. You are used to working towards set goals, focusing on results, and driving processes.

You express yourself easily both orally and in writing. You have a sense of graphic design and good knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro. It is an advantage if you are familiar with the publishing tool Sitevision.

Your future workplace

The Communications Unit consists of 12 people distributed among communicators, community guides, digitalization developers, and the communications manager. The department is part of Sector Management, which is the administration of the Municipal Executive Board. In addition to communication, this includes HR and staffing, finance, administration, and the emergency preparedness unit.
