We are looking for you with good administrative experience, interest in problem-solving and commitment to local initiatives that want to make a difference for Gotland's rural areas! Our colleague is going on parental leave and we are now looking for you who want to work together with us in a small creative and solution-focused team. As part of your temporary position, you will spend about a month alongside the regular project administrator for an introduction to the work, as well as about a month for handover when your temporary position ends.
Leader Gute is an association that works with rural development through the leader method and grants small and large project support to organizations. The leader method is used throughout the EU and is based on the premise that local development is best carried out by those who live and operate in an area. The association is led by a board and is financed by the EU, the Swedish state, and Region Gotland.
Tasks
You act as a local intermediary for project applicants in the application and payment process, which means that you will have contact with organizations that are applying for or already running projects, as well as the Agricultural Agency's administrators.
As we approach the end of our program period, your main tasks will be to support project owners who need to finalize their projects, as well as to process so-called “mini-projects.” Mini-projects are smaller projects that are applied for and paid directly by Leader Gute, and which you as an administrator then requisition from the Agricultural Agency. You collect data for evaluation and regularly produce reports for financial and goal follow-up. You also apply for new projects.
Your tasks include informing about the opportunities to apply for support and guiding applicants in shaping their applications based on the leader method and with regard to finances, current regulations, the association's strategy, and conditions for support. You also participate in the association's communication work and contribute to producing informational materials.
Qualifications
We are looking for you with experience in administration at an authority, with the ability to interpret and apply routines and regulations. It is particularly meritorious if you have recent experience in processing support related to any of the EU's structural and investment funds, such as the Agricultural Agency, the County Administrative Board, or another government authority. You have a university education or other training or experience that the employer assesses as relevant to the tasks.
You should have good experience in following detailed routines and documenting work via e-services, Excel, and other systems. You have good knowledge of public administration, confidentiality, record-keeping, and archiving. Knowledge of private administration and financial reporting, accounting, etc., is meritorious.
It is important that you enjoy working in a team but can also take significant personal responsibility and carry out tasks individually. As a person, you are very meticulous, structured, solution-focused, and responsible. You have a good sense of service and experience in handling questions from the public, as well as having guiding and supplementary contact with representatives whose cases you process. You are engaged, attentive, unpretentious, responsible, and proactive. You are not afraid to face problems – and enjoy figuring out solutions.
The position requires flexibility and contact with Gotland's rich association life, as well as work and meetings with Leader Gute's board. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
Employment
The employment concerns a parental leave substitute for a total of 12 months. We are looking for someone who wants to work full-time, but for the right person, we are open to adapting the position to part-time, which can be shared between two people. The position includes wellness benefits, occupational pension, and collective agreements via Fremia. Remote work can be discussed but is based on the needs and possibilities of the work. A driver's license and personal car for business trips are required.
