JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We are now looking for 15 case officers for the Project and Investment Support Department for a limited assignment of 11 months within Leader.

The department currently has three units that together handle support and payment applications for projects within Leader. Each unit also manages other project and investment support. The three units are: the Leader and Fisheries Unit, the Leader and Market Support Unit, and the Leader and School Milk Unit. Where you will be placed within this assignment has not yet been determined.

In the role of case officer, you will work in a team, closely collaborate with your colleagues, and take responsibility for your own tasks. In your role, you will be responsible for making assessments based on routines and regulations. The work involves contact with support recipients, other organizations, and other units within the Swedish Board of Agriculture. You will work closely with colleagues from all three Leader units.

In the department, we help each other to solve our tasks. This means that you may also need to handle support applications outside your main area of work.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with an academic education in economics, social sciences, or agronomy. Our working language is Swedish, so you need to express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

We prefer that you have a degree in the aforementioned fields, or that you will have a degree by August 2025, when the positions are planned to start.

We place great importance on your personal qualities. The case officer position is for you who have a good ability to independently drive and structure your work.
