Saco-S is looking for a member who is interested in getting involved in the union work at Uppsala University by working with the association's website and thus promoting the situation for all employees at the university.
The work as a webmaster with us involves, among other things, uploading new material to the website and reviewing existing content. It can be anything from texts for newsletters and seminars to collective agreements and salary statistics, but also image editing. Currently, it has varied whether the webmaster or someone else produced the textual content to be posted, so there is flexibility to do what suits you. The work also includes sending out newsletters and information on seminars to members via e-mail. The work requires some proficiency in Swedish in order to be able to adapt Swedish texts so that they fit the web.
No prior knowledge is required as you can receive training from us and the university. It is however meritorious:
- if you are used to administering web pages and have worked with Sitevision before.
- if you have good written skills in English and can translate Swedish text into English.
- if you have experience working with image editing tools such as Affinity Photo.
Scope: The appointment have a scope of about 20 % (but there is flexibility) and is primarily until 2026-12-31, with a possibility of extension.
For the appointment, you already need to be employed at Uppsala University and be a member of an independent Saco-S union. The appointment will be a part of your regular employment. Doctoral students are also welcome to apply. For doctoral students, positions of trust within unions give the right to prolongation of employment.
If you have any questions, please email saco-s@uu.se.
We hope that you are interested in getting involved in the union! Register your interest and send a presentation of yourself to saco-s@uu.se no later than May 6 2026 and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
We are looking for representatives!
Saco-S is looking for members who are interested in getting involved in the union’s work at Uppsala University and supporting the situation for all employees at the university.
As a union representative in one of Uppsala University's various bodies, you are an important link between the Saco-S Association's board work and what happens in different parts of the university's activities. As a union representative, you ensure that Saco-S has insight into the university's operations and you are responsible for updating the Saco-S board on what is said in these bodies.
You also monitor the decisions made in these bodies and participate in discussions to provide a broader employee perspective on many issues. Since Swedish is the language mainly used in these bodies, you as a representative therefore need to be able to understand and speak Swedish.
As a union representative, you usually have the right to free speech and participation, but without the right to vote in these bodies.
Usually these boards have meetings about 2-5 times per semester. Including pre- and post-work, representation usually takes about 25-30 hours per semester.
The board we are looking for a representative for is:
- Department of Social Work's board
- Substitute for the Gotland Committee
On the following web pages you will find more information about what it means to be a representative:
- Checklist for those who are a union representative in a committee, board or similar.
- Instruction for union representatives.
We hope that you are interested in getting involved in the work within a board! If you want to become a representative, register your interest and send a presentation of yourself to saco-s@uu.se and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
