Are you a professional, responsible, and flexible individual with a strong ability to engage with a wide range of issues, both high and low? Do you also have the capacity to support our political organization and administration with case preparations and train your colleagues in the committee process? If so, you will thrive with us at the Secretariat Unit in Sala Municipality.
About the Workplace
The Secretariat Unit houses the municipality's collective resources for committee administration. We offer you an educational and versatile job in a workplace where we support each other in both big and small matters while being driven by continuous development and improvement. Together with competent and responsible colleagues, you will become an important part of the committee secretariat's work. We strive to improve our operations every day with commitment, joy, and a forward-looking attitude.
Job Responsibilities
With us, you will be one of four committee secretaries responsible for the committee process in Sala Municipality by preparing meetings, organizing decision management, and supporting case handlers with documentation. You will work for one or more committees and maintain close contact with the chairpersons and office manager.
In addition to secretarial duties, administration, and coordination of the committees' work, you will also be involved in developing, streamlining, and quality-assuring routines and processes. Together with other secretaries, you will quality review decision materials and provide advice to case handlers and managers on matters related to 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 Secretariat Unit is responsible for conducting elections in the municipality, so work related to election planning may also occur in this position.
Evening work may be required approximately one evening per month.
Qualifications
To be a good committee secretary, you need to be both flexible and structured, while also being service-oriented with a strong sense of intuition. It is important that you enjoy building relationships, as good collaboration is crucial in this role.
We are looking for someone with a higher education in public administration, law, or another qualification deemed equivalent by the employer, or experience working as a committee secretary or in similar tasks. We prefer candidates with knowledge and experience of working in a politically governed organization. Additionally, you must have very good proficiency in the Swedish language, as this is a fundamental requirement for the position.
You should have a structured working method and be able to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, sometimes under tight deadlines. To drive development forward, you need to be an experienced user of digital tools and working methods.
We appreciate candidates who are unpretentious, attentive, and have a good ability to manage several parallel processes.
We would like to meet you if you have drive and enthusiasm and feel ready to take on the responsibilities of this important role.
Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
