Communicator (temporary position)

At the Swedish Work Environment Authority, we work together to ensure that no one becomes ill, is injured, or dies as a result of work. Therefore, we assist employers in meeting existing requirements and inform them on how to make work environment efforts a natural part of everyday life. Based on the Work Environment Act, we develop regulations, inspect workplaces, and disseminate knowledge about work environment issues. Our mission is serious, but our daily work is characterized by joy and we are caring and helpful colleagues. Your new job You will join us at an exciting time as we develop and expand our work, including how we approach communication. At the turn of the year, we will undergo a reorganization of the authority, which includes the Swedish Agency for Work Environment Knowledge becoming part of the Swedish Work Environment Authority. Together, we are deeply committed to improving the work environment for everyone in Sweden, and communication is a vital function to help us achieve our goals and our vision that no one should become ill, be injured, or die as a result of work. With us, you will work both strategically and operationally with internal and external communication. Key tasks include analyzing issues, prioritizing target groups, developing messages, selecting channels, and tailoring content to communicate effectively. You will collaborate with knowledgeable colleagues both within and outside the department. You will have a particular responsibility to work with experts to develop and subsequently communicate research reports on work environment issues. In the communications unit, you will work alongside approximately 30 communicators. The Head of Communications is part of the authority's management team.

It is advantageous if you also have: • Experience in project communication • Experience in evaluating communication efforts • Experience from working in a government agency. You have the ability to work independently and take initiative. You are accustomed to driving communication efforts based on organizational goals and can switch between strategic planning and practical implementation. You are confident in your professional role and possess excellent collaboration skills. In the selection process, we will place great emphasis on your personal suitability.
