Here you can apply for a temporary cover position with the City of Hafnarfjörður. This refers to cover positions other than those in nurseries, primary schools, music schools, and in the field of disability services. Those positions are advertised separately on the recruitment page.

We are regularly looking for staff for a variety of temporary cover roles. Temporary cover positions are not always advertised, and in these cases, managers or the HR department search the applicant pool. These are cover roles not intended to last for more than 12 consecutive months, for example, due to holiday, sickness, maternity or study leave.

Applications here are only considered for temporary cover positions and will not be taken into account for vacancies that are advertised separately. We therefore encourage you to keep a close eye on all advertised vacancies on the City of Hafnarfjörður website and to apply specifically if a particular position interests you.

Competency requirements:

• Communication and collaboration skills
• Initiative and autonomy in work methods
• Service-mindedness and reliability
• Ability to express oneself orally and in writing
• Ability for personalised solutions
• Good general computer skills
• Minimum proficiency in Icelandic A2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

Applicants must be 18 years of age or older. A clean criminal record and a record of good conduct are required, i.e. a good reputation and behaviour and actions, both at and outside of work, must be consistent with the role.

Your application for a locum position is active for six months and will become inactive after that time. You can request to have your application deactivated before then by sending an email to mannaudur@hafnarfjordur.is 

Applications for temporary cover positions are not responded to individually, but all applications are treated in confidence.

The application does not apply to summer jobs or employment initiatives.
