Vacant job

Do you want to contribute to developing the Swedish Tax Agency's occupational health and safety work while making a societal impact? We are looking for an HR Specialist in Occupational Health and Safety who wants to make a difference – in everyday life, during change, and when it really matters. In this role, you will combine strategic and operational work by driving development, creating sustainable structures, and supporting managers and operations in turning requirements, knowledge, and care into a safe and sustainable work environment. Join us and make society possible!

About the job

As an HR Specialist in Occupational Health and Safety, you work with governance and support within the OHS area. You contribute to creating common ways of working and efficient processes for, among other things, our systematic occupational health and safety work (SAM) and organizational and social occupational health and safety work (OSA), ensuring they function practically within a large and complex organization.

Among other things, you will:

• develop, manage, and embed governance, routines, and support related to the entire OHS area, with a focus on SAM and OSA
• serve as a qualified support for managers and HR colleagues on OHS issues, both proactively and when the situation requires secure advisory support
• contribute to investigations and preventive work related to, for example, bullying and harassment, and strengthen common ways of working
• plan and implement training initiatives, guidance, and communication so that more people can easily do the right thing
• collaborate with safety organizations and employee organizations, and contribute to cross-agency forums related to the OHS area.

You naturally switch between strategic questions about how we should move forward and operational needs in everyday life, where you contribute to finding solutions here and now. In the role, you have many contact points and move comfortably in different contexts. You also handle situations where the pace is high and the situation may feel pressurized, with stability and professionalism. Through your approach, you build trust, bring people along with you, and drive issues all the way to completion.

You belong to the Employer Unit on the HR Department, which has just over 50 employees, and the position is located in Malmö, Gothenburg, or Sundbyberg.

We have flexible working hours, and for us, balance between work and leisure is a given.

About you

To do a good job and thrive with us at the Swedish Tax Agency, you need to be receptive, think new thoughts, and take responsibility. In the work, sound judgment and understanding of legal certainty and security are important. You must also live up to our employee policy. You work with a focus on results, quality, and a professional approach. You can translate legal and regulatory requirements into practical action and contribute to ways of working that function in everyday life. You build relationships, promote learning, and create consensus in collaboration with others. You are solution-oriented and get things done, while also valuing structure and working to ensure that OHS issues become a natural part of operations.

In this job, you should:

• have a very good ability to work independently, meaning you plan and drive your work forward to achieve good results
• have a good ability to collaborate with others and be helpful, meaning you are receptive to others' views and take responsibility for ensuring joint tasks are carried out
• take initiative, think new thoughts, and take a stand on issues
• be able to explain complex issues in a pedagogical way and adapt your message to different target groups to create understanding
• analyze and break down complex issues, draw conclusions, and develop solutions
• express yourself very well orally and in writing
• be able to analyze information flows, see connections, and make decisions.

You must also have:

• a university or college education of at least 120 credits/180 ECTS with a relevant focus (e.g., personnel science, behavioral science, law) or other current, qualified, and relevant work experience/education for the position that the employer considers equivalent
• several years of current and relevant experience of qualified work within the OHS area, including systematic occupational health and safety work (SAM) and organizational and social occupational health and safety (OSA)
• broad HR experience with a clear focus on OHS, as well as experience of working integrated with OHS, leadership, and organizational culture
• experience of OHS work in change with a focus on collaboration, learning, and sustainable organizations.

It is desirable that you have experience of similar work from a government agency.
