Two consultants for an ambitious and well-functioning secretariat

Are you a razor-sharp generalist? Do you thrive in a busy everyday life at the intersection of management support and project and process management? Are you systematic, structured and quick to form an overview, and do you always deliver your tasks on time? Are you the natural midfield player who makes others look good and can also drive things yourself? Then you currently have the opportunity to become part of an ambitious and well-functioning secretariat, as we are looking for two consultants for a permanent position and for a maternity cover.

About the job

The Secretariat for Social, Health & Care in Viborg Municipality consists of two departments; Policy and Development and Administration. You will be part of Policy and Development in a team of 16 colleagues who support the director, managers and leaders within the social, health, care and employment areas. You will report to the head of department in Policy and Development.

We solve a diversity of tasks in the Secretariat, and among others you will be expected to:

• Provide secretarial support to directors, managers and leaders.
• Prepare case materials for our political committees as well as presentations, notes, statements, speeches and replies to inquiries from citizens, relatives and others.
• Prepare agendas and minutes and prepare, facilitate and ensure follow-up on various meetings.
