Vacant job

Are you a professional, responsible, and flexible person with a good ability to grasp a wide range of issues, both high-level and detailed? Do you also have the ability to support our political organization and administration with case preparation and train your colleagues in the council process? Then you will thrive with us at the Executive Office in Sala Municipality.

About the workplace

The Executive Office houses the municipality's consolidated resources for council administration. We offer you a learning-rich and diverse job in a workplace where we support each other in big and small matters, driven by continuous development and improvement. Together with competent and responsible colleagues, you will become an important part of the council secretariat's work. We make operations better every day with engagement, joy, and forward momentum.

Job Responsibilities

Here, you will be one of four council secretaries responsible for Sala Municipality's council process by preparing meetings, organizing decision-making, and supporting case handlers with background materials. You will work for one or several councils and maintain close contact with the chairperson and the office manager.

In addition to secretarial duties, administration, and coordination of the councils' work, you will develop, streamline, and quality-assure routines and processes. Together with other secretaries, you will quality-check decision materials and provide advice to case handlers and managers on matters concerning the political processing of cases. Furthermore, you will participate in various projects aimed at driving development issues related to the case process and, to some extent, investigate and draft your own cases. The Executive Office is responsible for conducting elections in the municipality, so work with election planning may therefore occur in the role.

Evening work may occur approximately one evening per month.

Qualifications

To be a good council secretary, you must be both flexible and structured, while also being service-oriented with strong attention to detail. It is important that you enjoy building relationships, as good collaboration is crucial in this role.

We are looking for you who have a university degree in public administration, law, or another education that the employer deems equivalent, or alternatively, experience working as a council secretary or in similar roles. We would prefer that you have knowledge and experience of working in a politically governed organization. You must also have very good knowledge of the Swedish language, as this is a basic requirement for the position.

You need to have a structured approach to work and be able to handle several tasks in parallel, sometimes with tight deadlines. To drive development forward, you need to be a proficient user of digital tools and methods.

We would prefer that you are unpretentious, receptive, and have a good ability to manage several parallel processes.

We would like to meet you who have drive and enthusiasm and feel ready to take on the responsibility for this important role.

Personal suitability is given great weight.
