1 position(s).

Do you want to play a central role in the political decision-making process and contribute to ensuring that important decisions are made on legally secure and well-prepared grounds? We are now looking for a Council Secretary who, together with a colleague, is responsible for the work towards the Pre-school and Primary School Board as well as the Upper Secondary School Board.

Here, you will have an independent and varied assignment with many points of contact. You will work closely with the administration's managers, case handlers, and elected officials, becoming a key part of creating a well-functioning political decision-making process. Daily life here is characterized by good cooperation, high quality, and a shared commitment to supporting both the operations and the political organization.

YOUR ROLE

As a Council Secretary, you plan, administer, and coordinate the work surrounding the political decision-making process. You are responsible for case management from the moment a case is initiated until it has been processed and decided upon by the board. Through your work, you create the prerequisites for well-founded and legally secure decisions and provide important administrative support to the elected officials.

You prepare for and participate in preparatory meetings and board meetings. You ensure the quality of service descriptions, reports, and other decision-making materials, ensuring that the documents maintain high quality before political processing. You draw up summonses and minutes, dispatch and archive decisions, and work in the municipality's case management system.

An important part of the assignment is also to provide support and training to the administration's employees in the board process. You also participate in development work aimed at ensuring quality and efficiency in the board process. If necessary, tasks such as mail handling and disclosure of public documents may also be included.

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

We are looking for you who have a university education within public administration, political science, social sciences, law, or other education that we assess as equivalent. You have good digital competence and are accustomed to working in administrative systems. You express yourself very well in Swedish, both orally and in writing, and can adapt your communication to the recipient. Formulating clear minutes and other documents is a natural part of your work.

To succeed in the role, you need to have good administrative skills. You work in a structured manner, find it easy to plan your work, and can handle several parallel cases simultaneously while maintaining high quality. You are analytical and see both details and contexts, while also having the ability to drive your work forward even when the pace is high.

Since the role involves many points of contact, it is also important that you enjoy collaborating and building good relationships. You work independently when needed, but see the value of close collaboration with colleagues, case handlers, managers, and elected officials.

It is an advantage if you have knowledge of municipal and administrative law as well as public access and secrecy legislation. Experience from a politically governed organization or from coordination and investigation work is also positive.

YOUR NEW WORKPLACE

You will become part of the Board Secretariat within Education and Employment. Here, council secretaries, investigators, administrative lawyers, registrars, and administrative assistants work together to provide qualified support to the operations and create a legally secure and well-functioning political decision-making process.

As a Council Secretary, you are also part of Skellefteå Municipality's network for council secretaries. There, you get the opportunity to exchange experiences and collaborate with council secretaries and municipal secretaries from other administrations.

GOOD TO KNOW

We recruit based on competence and focus on your experience, knowledge, and potential. Instead of a cover letter, you answer some selection questions and attach your CV.

The position is a temporary assignment starting in the autumn of 2026 until 2028-09-01.

We welcome your application!
