Job Description

As a lawyer at SiS, you have the opportunity to be part of a transformation journey aimed at creating working methods that ensure equality, efficiency, and legal certainty with a focus on young people and clients.

The legal department has about 40 employees and is divided into three sections: the Section for Government Law, the Section for Operational Law, and the Section for Information Management. The Section for Government Law is responsible for legal governance, support, and follow-up regarding legal issues that are cross-authority. The section is also responsible for the development and follow-up of the authority's common decision-making and preparation processes as well as the release of public documents that are to be reviewed at the headquarters.

We offer a varied role with interesting tasks! Together with your colleagues, you will provide legal support in all relevant legal areas for the authority. Examples of common tasks include preparing legal investigations, responding to referrals, and handling cases that are of central importance to the operations.

It is advantageous if you have:
