Experienced HR professional for personnel administration and HR advisory

Do you have solid experience with payroll and personnel administration in the public sector, and would you like to put your professional expertise to use as an HR partner? Are you motivated by supporting managers and employees and finding solutions that create value? Then we have an exciting opportunity for you in the HR of the Social and Housing Agency (Social- og Boligstyrelsen).

We are seeking an experienced and versatile HR professional who is both strong in administrative operations and has the aptitude and desire to develop in the advisory function as an HR partner.

Maybe you already have experience as an HR partner – maybe you are ready to take the next step into the role. Whatever the case, the most important thing is that you have a solid HR professional foundation, are good at dialogue and communication, and want to use your expertise as a sparring partner for management.

The tasks

You will become part of HR and the Directorate Secretariat with 19 dedicated employees, of which 8 are colleagues in HR.

Here you will play a central role in daily administration and have a broad contact surface to managers and employees across the agency. We are often busy, but we value helpfulness, collaboration and well-being – and there is always room for a good laugh in everyday life!

In the position you will, among other things, work with classic administrative tasks related to payroll, parental leave, holidays, sick leave, etc. Your experience in the administrative field is an important foundation for advising managers and seeing the operations tasks in a larger context. You will also contribute to HR processes and initiatives across the organization.

Your profile

You have several years of experience with HR and personnel administration and are confident in administrative processes. At the same time you have an interest in HR advisory and manager support and a desire to develop professionally.

We expect you to be proactive, curious and service-minded. You must be able to challenge professionally, assess risks and consequences and point to different solution options. This requires that you can both dive into details and lift your gaze so you see the individual HR task in the context of the needs of the manager, the team and the organization.

You work in a structured and independent way, take ownership of your tasks and see them through. You are also strong at building relationships and ready to engage in close collaboration with both management and your colleagues in HR and the other staff functions.

We place weight on clear and professional communication, both verbally and in writing. In addition, you have an IT flair and familiarity with the state's HR systems, e.g., Statens HR, Statens Rekrutteringsløsning and F2.

Your educational background is not decisive. You may, for example, have an office education combined with relevant further training or a professional bachelor in public administration. Other educations can also be relevant.
