Description

We are looking for a legal colleague to the Legal Function within the Unit for Management and Operational Support.

Working as a lawyer with us will provide you with a varied everyday life where you have an important role to fill for both citizens and the authority. You will gain knowledge and development in several different areas of law with interesting and challenging issues closely related to the county. You will work in a group with other lawyers and a chief lawyer, and have the opportunity for both knowledge exchange and collaboration. You will participate in the development work at the Legal Function and have close cooperation with colleagues from other units.

Responsibilities

The lawyers at the County Administrative Board work in a wide range of legal areas, providing advice and support on legal matters across all of the Board's operations, which may include emergency preparedness and data protection. In addition to support activities, the lawyers handle and decide on their own cases, focusing on issues within the Planning and Building Act, the Environmental Code, and land management (Reindeer Husbandry Act and Land Code). The County Administrative Board is the appellate body when municipal decisions under the Environmental Code and the Planning and Building Act are appealed.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who has a Swedish law degree (jur. kand) or equivalent and several years of experience in legal work within an administrative authority or court. You have good experience working with issues related to transparency and confidentiality as well as data protection. You have excellent communication skills, both orally and in writing, and several years of experience in preparing and independently making decisions. Experience in operational development, collaboration issues, and emergency preparedness is an advantage. You should have a strong interest in working with issues related to the Planning and Building Act and the Environmental Code.

We place great importance on your personal qualities. As a person, you need to have a high level of personal maturity, be structured, and have good judgment. You need to be self-driven, able to effectively manage your issues, and enjoy taking responsibility for your tasks. At the same time, you need to value collaboration within the team. You should have good ability to cooperate across different parts of the organization and communicate clearly, both internally and externally. Of course, you share the County Administrative Board's values of treating everyone with respect, professionalism, and openness.

The position may involve placement in a security class. For such a position, Swedish citizenship and security clearance are prerequisites.

Conditions

We offer you a meaningful job with varied tasks. You will make a difference for our county and society. The County Administrative Board is a broad authority, which means you will constantly have the opportunity to develop and learn new things. This applies across several political areas.

As an employer, we focus on good employment conditions, active work environment efforts, and health-promoting wellness activities. We value collaboration with our trade union partners and can offer remote work.

In a permanent position at the County Administrative Board, you will be assigned to the authority in case of war. Depending on the position, it may include service in crisis management and security classification. We usually start with a probationary period for permanent positions.
