Your workday. Sweden's tomorrow.

We are looking for a case officer for the unit for national migration issues.

The unit is also responsible for government oversight of the Swedish Migration Agency and budget work within expenditure area 8 Migration, as well as handling individual cases and environmental analysis.

In this role, you will work with the processing of so-called security cases, i.e., appeals against the Migration Agency's decisions regarding Swedish citizenship. You will also handle individual complaints against Sweden before international bodies in cases related to migration. The work involves processing incoming cases, communicating with authorities, applicants, and their representatives, as well as preparing decision-making materials for the political leadership. You will have many contacts within the ministry as well as with other ministries and the Migration Agency. Other usual departmental work will also be included in your tasks.

To be successful in this role, you need to thrive in a sometimes fast-paced work environment. In this role, you will represent the unit and the Ministry of Justice in various contexts.
